Brief description

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salzburg

2025: "Salzburg[a] is the fourth-largest city in Austria. In 2020 its population was 156,852.[7]

The town occupies the site of the Roman settlement of Iuvavum. Founded as an episcopal see in 696, it became a seat of the archbishop in 798. Its main sources of income were salt extraction, trade, as well as gold mining. The fortress of Hohensalzburg, one of the largest medieval fortresses in Europe, dates from the 11th century. In the 17th century, Salzburg became a centre of the Counter-Reformation, with monasteries and numerous Baroque churches built.

Salzburg's historic center (GermanAltstadt) is renowned for its Baroque architecture and is one of the best-preserved city centres north of the Alps. The historic center was enlisted as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996.[8] The city has three universities and a large student population."
