St Peter's Abbey
If you only have time to visit one of Salzburg's many churches,
make sure its the 9th century St Peter's Abbey Church (Stiftkirche
St Peter), one of Salzburg's most impressive Rococo buildings. The
Peterskirche was built at the beginning of the 18th century on the
foundations of the former church, which was founded in 792. The
ornate interior is more impressive than the exterior with high
marble pillars and a magnificent frescoed ceiling. The ancient
catacombs that were carved into the rock face by the early
Christian inhabitants are accessible only through a short guided
tour.
