Sebastiansfriedhof, Salzburg, Austria 2

While you’re meandering around the grounds searching for Mozart family members, keep an eye out for the tomb of the famous physician, Paracelsus (just behind this corridor up a flight of steps).

The inscription on his tomb reads:

“Here lies Philippus Theophrastus, Doctor of Medicine of great renown, whose art most wonderfully healed even the most terrible wounds, leprosy, podagra, dropsy, and other seemingly incurable diseases; and who honored himself by having all his possessions distributed among the poor. He passed from life to death on September 24 of the year 1541.”
