Stiftsbasilika

TIME : 2016/2/18 16:13:46

The Stiftskirche is almost overpowering: its altar is shaped from 700 tonnes of pink Salzburg marble and the huge 18th-century organ, which is literally dripping with gold, was Europe’s largest at the time it was built. To hear the organ in full song, catch one of the concerts (adult/concession with tour around €8/around €7; h14:30 Mon, Wed-Fri & Sun mid-May-mid-Oct).
