Historic Centre of the City of Salzburg, UNESCO World Heritage Site in Salzburg, Austria.

The historic center spans 236 hectares along both banks of the Salzach River, featuring hundreds of preserved medieval and baroque buildings.

The district evolved from a medieval ecclesiastical state ruled by prince-archbishops until 1806, creating a distinctive urban layout with Italian-influenced architecture.

The area includes the Getreidegasse street, where Mozart's birth house stands, and numerous concert halls hosting musical performances throughout the year.

Walking tours departing from Residenzplatz guide visitors through narrow streets, connecting major landmarks such as Hohensalzburg Fortress and Mirabell Palace.

The Felsenreitschule theater occupies a former quarry site, with its stage built directly into the mountain rock face.
