Salzburg

Once a Roman site, then a place for salt production, a place of archbishop till beginning of the 19th century. A fortress also.

Tools of salt miners.
Once there were quarrels
for salt. One archbishop
was imprisoned by Pope
till the end of his days.
Nowadays it is not sold
on the market
But many things for
tourists are on
Getreidergasse.
