Salzburg Photos: Kapuzinerkirche & Altstadt
return to "winter
photos 2"
The Kapuzinerkirche sits on a cliff of the
Kapuzinerberg hill like a big chunk
of cheddar with a brown roof. The building, which dates back to the 17th century,
is a plain one - typical for the poverty-mad Capuchin monks. Note also the city
walls all over Kapuzinerberg, which you can clearly see in this picture because
of the winterly lack of vegetation. The white tower left of the Capuchin
Monastery is the Neue Residenz with the central tower containing the Salzburg
Carillion (Salzburger Glockenspiel). The Neue Residenz is home to the
Salzburg
Museum or town museum. The smaller Baroque tower left of it is in fact a Rococo
tower and belongs to the little church
Michaelskirche, right between Residenzplatz
and Mozartplatz. Particularly anal observers of this picture might also be able
to spot the green copper-roof of the
Dreifaltigkeitskirche or Trinity Church on the horizon just between the Glockenspiel and St. Michael.
