Glockenspiel, Musical instrument at Mozartplatz, Salzburg, Austria

The Salzburger Glockenspiel consists of 35 bells spanning three octaves, housed in the tower of the Neue Residenz building in central Salzburg.

Following a two-year restoration project, the Glockenspiel resumed operations in January 2011, preserving its mechanical system that dates from the early 20th century.

The instrument performs daily concerts featuring compositions from Mozart's operas, including selections from The Magic Flute and Don Giovanni, along with other classical pieces.

Visitors can attend guided tours to the Glockenspiel tower on Thursdays and Fridays between March and October, with tickets available at the Neue Residenz museum.

The mechanism contains a large brass cylinder with 7,970 holes, enabling the performance of more than 100 different musical pieces through its automated system.
