DomQuartier

The DomQuartier

The Salzburg audio-guided tour leads you to the DomQuartier, a complex of monuments that retraces several centuries of the city's history. It is an exceptional testimony of the work of the prince-archbishops who governed Salzburg.

The work of the prince-archbishops

The DomQuartier gathers several buildings linked together, from St Peter's Church to the cathedral, by way of the Residence. This ensemble is the fruit of the work of the prince-archbishops, those high nobles who governed the city and wanted to make Salzburg a city marked with the seal of the Italian Renaissance, then of the baroque. To walk through this quarter is to follow the thread of the religious and political power that shaped the city for centuries.

What there is to see

The DomQuartier allows you to link, by an interior route, the apartments of the Residence, the galleries, the terraces dominating the squares and the spaces linked to the cathedral. There you discover art collections, sumptuous decors and unprecedented viewpoints over the old town. It is a privileged immersion into the splendour and the history of the archbishops of Salzburg.
