Rainy Day Outside Stiftskeller St. Peter

Salzburg, Austria. I could not move on to locations other than Salzburg without including this unique place due to the great meal we had here plus its reputed history. Scanned from a Kodachrome slide.

 

Stiftskeller St. Peter is a restaurant within the monastery walls of St. Peter's Archabbey, Salzburg, Austria. It is claimed to be the oldest inn in Central Europe because of a supposed documentary mention of it by the scholar Alcuin in 803 AD. (note "Seit 803" i.e. "Since 803" above the arch.) Based on this and other claims, the Stiftskeller St. Peter is cited as one of the oldest restaurants in the world, and the oldest in Europe. Both Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Christopher Columbus are said to have been served at the restaurant. (Wikipedia)
