Mirabell Palace

  Mirabell Palace, a historical landmark in Salzburg, lies adjacent to the Salzach River and showcases beautifully landscaped gardens. Originally built in 1606 by Prince-Archbishop Wolf Dietrich von Raitenau, it served as a residence for his mistress and children before evolving into a venue for concerts and events. The palace's main feature, the Baroque Mirabell Gardens, spans approximately 100,000 square feet and is renowned for its symmetrical layout and vibrant floral displays, particularly vibrant during the spring months of April and May. Visitors can wander through the gardens and admire the stunning views of the Hohensalzburg Fortress. Don't miss the Pegasus Fountain, which stands 3 meters tall and adds a charming focal point amidst the well-kept greenery.
