Salzburg, Austria's 4th biggest city, is not only Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, the Sound of Music, the Festival Salzburg, or a popular holiday destination for tourists from whole over the world. No! Salzburg is also the city of the tasteful Mozart Chocolates
The old town of Salzburg is an UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site. But which title should be given to the Mozart Chocolates then? The chocolates called "Mozartkugeln" were created by the pastry cook Paul Fürst in the year 1890, and named according to Salzburg's biggest son: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
The Salzburger Dom was completed in 774, and is considered to be one of the biggest churches buildings to the north of the Alps. The church has a capacity for 10.000 visitors.
In 1598, the basilica was severely damaged, and after several failed attempts at restoration and reconstruction, the building was finally ordered to be demolished by Prince-Archbishop Wolf Dietrich. In 1628 the rebuilt church was completed.
During the second world war, the church was damaged by a single bomb. Only in the year 1959, 14 years after the war, it was possible to complete the repair works.
