Before starting the narration about the sights of Salzburg, I should say that this city was totally rebuilt by the order the archbishop Wolf Dietrich. By nature he was a boastful and extravagant person, so he created there plenty of cloisters, parks, churches and the Salzburg Cathedral. Not only the archbishop, but also his progeny were very rich. Ultimately, all the salt mines of Salzburg belonged to them, more than that, all they were the owners of large farms. And the first place among them, surely, was Wolf Dietrich's. When the number of his children reached 12 and he ordered to build Palace of Mirabell for them, but the Pope decided that that's too much. So the last years of his life Wolf Dietrich spent in the prison of the Hohensalzburg. But I should say that without that generation of rich archbishops Salzburg wouldn't have the outlook, he has now.
