Old Town in Salzburg, Austria (© Jochen Tack/age fotostock)
【December 16 2015】Salzburg may be best known as the birthplace of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, but it’s got more to offer than classical music history. The Old Town portion of the city, seen here, survived World War II bombings intact. As a result, the medieval-era Romanesque and Gothic cathedrals and monasteries are still standing. Alongside these stand many Baroque and Renaissance churches, the result of a 17th-century effort to give Salzburg a serious upgrade. The Collegiate Church -- the well-lit structure in the lower left of this photo -- is one of the Baroque gems of Old Town. The columns of the building’s high altar represent the Seven Pillars of Wisdom.Explore breathtaking Gallery from the HuluTrip homepage over the past 5 years..
