Mozartplatz
In 1756 Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born here, the most important figure in Salzburg. In 1842 a monument was erected in his honor in a place called Mozart Market today.
Mozartplatz is one of Salzburg’s key markets. It is located in the old city and was made by the demolition of a number of homes during the Wolf Dietrich von Raitenau mayor in 1588. It can be reached from the direction of the University of Residenzplatz and the old market direction.
This market was built on some ancient Roman foundations, but in 1842, houses the Mozart Memorial, becoming the heart of the city at the foot of the Alps. Mozart Square is located in the old center of Salzburg and represents the most frequently encountered, both for local people and for tourists.
Mozart Memorial House Mozart and his family have lived in this house from 1787 until 1790 the Viennese composer and has created numerous works brilliant here, among which the opera “The Marriage of Figaro”. Architecture building is less impressive compared to its historical importance, but the museum must be seen as revealing interesting details about the composer’s life and work.

But such objects related to Mozart’s personality – which has become a veritable industry – can be found in almost every shop in Salzburg. From the tie plates and clocks and statuettes from the games company, all sitting in a commercial way too often underpinned by Mozart. Those who listen to music from the Salzburg Festival can buy CDs with the latest editions, which are found in all music stores in town.
