Dom, Salzburg, Austria 1

by Elinor

Dom, Salzburg, Austria 1

Legend has it that Salzburg’s first cathedral was consecrated by Bishop Virgil in 774 on the same spot where St. Rupert had built a church. Through the middle ages, it underwent a series of renovations and calamities – including being struck by lightning – and was finally condemned by, you guessed it, Prince Archbishop Wolf Dietrich von Raitenau.

Although Wolf Dietrich had plenty of plans for his new baby, he didn’t live long enough to see it rise from the rubble. The current Baroque masterpiece was designed by the architect Santino Solari and constructed under the aegis of Prince Archbishop Marcus Sitticus von Hohenems. Begun in 1614, it was completed in 1628. The oldest bells in the cathedral – the Marienglocke and the Virgilglocke – were cast at this time.

There are 4 sculptures flanking the portals of the Dom. As founders of Salzburg’s faith, St. Rupert carries the salt box and St. Virgil carries the church. St. Peter – “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven” – holds the keys and St. Paul – beheaded in Rome in A.D. 67 – holds the sword.

Mozart Bonus: The Dom holds the baptismal font where Mozart was baptized and the organ where he played some of his compositions.

Dom, Salzburg, Austria 2

by Elinor

Dom, Salzburg, Austria 2

If you’re looking for ecclesiastical adventure, I highly recommend a trip to the DomQuartier – the cathedral-museum complex. Your ticket will give you entry to the Cathedral Museum, the Museum of St. Peter’s Abbey, the State Rooms of the Residenz, the Cabinet of Curiosities, and much more.

On your walk, you’ll run into:

  • Elaborate monstrances encrusted with diamonds, rubies, and emeralds
  • Host irons decorated with elaborate patterns for the wafer used in Mass
  • A close-up view of the massive cathedral organ – 4,121 pipes and 58 stops
  • Dutch masterpieces by Cuyp, De Velde and De Heem
  • Celestial globes and cut-rock crystal

Plus innumerable state rooms shimmering in gold and white. Keep an eye out for the clock made of French silk and lit by a candle.

Palacio Real | Royal Palace, Madrid

The Palacio Real feels a lot like Buckingham Palace: stately, restrained, and lacking in spice. But the earth has a great deal of pedigree. For many centuries, the Royal Alcázar of Madrid stood on this ground, a Moorish palace that became a royal residence. It held countless treasures from the Spanish empire. On Christmas Eve, […]
