ART AND BEAUTY IMAGES FOR YOU

Salzburg, Austria (1)

In my last trip to Salzburg, I took pictures, especially for my dear friends and readers of my blog. I hope you like them.

Salzburg is an Austrian city of 148,521 inhabitants (2012). The old town is inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List.
Located on the German border, the city is famous for having seen Mozart born. It takes its name from salt (Salz in German) and from castle (Burg), on whose commerce the city builds its fortune. The Salzburg Classical Music Festival is one of the most prestigious in the world.
