Hohensalzburg Castle, Salzburg Austria

Hohensalzburg Castle sits atop the Festungsberg, a small hill in the Austrian city of Salzburg. It is one of the largest medieval castles in Europe. Hohensalzburg Castle is situated at an altitude of 506 m.

 

Kapitelplatz is a large festive square, often hosting music and artist events, that has a bunch of very interesting sights. As you enter the square you'll walk right into the first two sights, a giant over-sized chess board with almost life-sized pieces next to a 30-foot-tall yellow orb sculpture with a man on top called Sphaera. Sphaera was made in 2007 by artist Stephan Balkenhol and is locally called Mann auf Mozartkugel.
