Romanesque Cathedral

The underground Cathedral Excavations Museum shows the construction activities in the area of the present cathedral since Roman times. The archeological finds of a Roman villa as well as the foundations and upward masonry work of the Romanesque cathedral's west towers are especially impressive. After a fire in 1598 Archbishop Wolf Dietrich of Salzburg (1587–1612) had demolished the Romanesque cathedral in order to make room for the early Baroque new construction.
