Stove in the White Room
Salzburg’s 16th-century sprawling Residenz with 180 rooms and three courtyards housed the city’s archbishops. The original palace was constructed in the 13th century, but was vastly enlarged and renovated later on.
Details in the Antecamera
The staterooms are crowded with an impressive array of frescos, paintings, fireplaces, stoves and tapestries that represent Renaissance, Classical and – my favorite – Baroque periods.
Audience Room
The tour through the staterooms becomes more and more ornate.
Conference Room
Knights’ Hall
Mozart performed in the Knights’ Hall at age 11 and in the Konferenzsaal at age 6.
Ping the railing to hear pitch-perfect musical notes
