label: Description
content: Landscape and architecture sketch showing a view of the castle at Salzburg, technically referred to as the Hohensalzburg Fortress, perched atop a hill in the heart of the city. In the foreground, two buildings are visible at right--the rightmost one with a crenellated top is a fortification tower known as Freyschlössl (or "Red Tower"). Dark green treetops are visible at lower center. A low, flat area supported by a stone retaining wall is visible at center with the flag of the Salzburg Duchy flying on its edge at left. In the middle distance at upper right, the white walls and lofty towers of the Hohensalzburg Fortress are perched atop an abrupt and heavily wooded hill. The Austrian alps stretch across the background, forming an undulating, mountainous horizon beneath a blue sky with light clouds.
