. There are several cobblestone streets filled today with shops and cafes with beautiful baroque architecture. Salzburg literally means "Salt Fortress" and derives its name from the barges carrying salt on the Salzach River. In fact, we learn that the word, "salary" comes from the latin word for "salt".After wandering through the Old Town we climed up the steep hill to Festung Hohensalzburg, the city's fortress, which was built in 1077. Salzburg was the seat of the Archbishop of Salzburgh, a prince bishop of the Holy Roman Empiere.
