History in Salzburg

Salzburg From the Untersberg

Steve Bahus

Salzburg was formed from mining gold and salt which is why it is called "Salzburg" because in german this means treasure of salt.

Inhabited by Celts, the city was conquered by the Romans.

W.A. Mozart was born in Salzburg and spent there most of his life.
