Salzburg Cathedral

Salzburg Cathedral1

This picture shows the rooftop of Salzburg Cathedral which dominates
the skyline in Salzburg. Consecrated to St Rupert and St Virgil, it is
the third cathedral building to be erected on the site. It was originally
built in 1614-1628 by Santino Solari, and completed in 1652-1655.

The interior of Salzburg Cathedral, showing the four balconies
in the crossing, each of which has its own organ. These galleries,
which were present during Biber's tenure in Salzburg and were
undoubtedly used for performances of polychoral works in the
cathedral, have been rebuilt in the Cathedral in recent years
