What you'll see
The old town's grandest square: a big baroque fountain with horses rearing out of the water, the prince-archbishops' palace on one side and the cathedral's front on another. A carillon plays from the tower opposite a few times a day.
A brief history
An archbishop cleared a whole block of houses around 1600 to make room for it, as part of turning Salzburg into a 'Rome of the north'.
