"Constructed by the archbishops of Salzburg during the era of the Holy Roman Empire, this is one of Europe's largest medieval fortresses. In the 19th century it was made accessible via the FestungsBahn funicular that climbs the hillside to the fortress; distinctive interior highlights include the decorated Golden Chamber and the Salzburg Bull, a 16th-century organ that plays daily." - Steven Casale Steven Casale Steven Casale is a New York City-based freelance writer and digital strategist.
