Introduction

The main bishop's church in the center of Salzburg's Old Town is an Italian-style church, first built in 774. After several expansions, renovations, and fire damage, it now exhibits a Baroque style. Despite not being as grand or decorated as other churches in Europe, it possesses a unique charm. In the 17th century, Bishop Paris-Lodron was a controversial figure, but he managed to prevent war in Salzburg and greatly contributed to the city's development, establishing its first university. Many streets and institutions in Salzburg are named after him, including the University of Salzburg.
