The architect who carved a world-class opera stage into the Monchsberg cliff face. Holzmeister worked on Salzburg Festival venues across multiple building phases from 1926, culminating in the Grosses Festspielhaus expansion of 1956-1960.

Court architect to the Bavarian Electors and relative of Giovanni Gaspare Zuccalli, the Zuccalli family member who worked directly in Salzburg. Enrico operated in the same patronage world that shaped the archbishops' building ambitions across the border.

Co-founder, with Hermann Helmer, of the firm Fellner & Helmer, which designed approximately 48 theatres across the Habsburg Empire, including the Salzburger Landestheater (1892).

The man who designed the Mirabell Gardens as visitors see them today. Danreiter created the definitive baroque layout around 1730: the symmetrical parterre, the geometric hedging, the rose garden, and the famous Zwerglgarten (Dwarf Garden). The gardens that appear in The Sound of Music are substantially his creation.

Swiss-Italian architect from the Graubunden Zuccalli dynasty who designed the Kajetanerkirche (1685-1697) for Archbishop Max Gandolph. His dismissal by the next archbishop marks the end of Italian-Swiss architectural dominance in Salzburg.

Partner of Ferdinand Fellner in the Vienna firm Fellner & Helmer. Helmer brought structural engineering rigour to the partnership, handling the acoustic and technical design of auditoria. Their Salzburger Landestheater (1892) has served Salzburg's cultural life for over 130 years.

The defining architect of Austrian Baroque. Fischer von Erlach built four major churches in Salzburg, all commissioned by Johann Ernst von Thun, including the Kollegienkirche and the Dreifaltigkeitskirche. The partnership between patron and architect gave Salzburg the architectural character it retains today.

Leading Austrian baroque architect and contemporary rival of Fischer von Erlach. Designed the rebuilt Mirabell Palace in its current baroque form (1721) after a fire destroyed the earlier structure. Also known for Vienna's Belvedere Palace.

Munich architect who designed the Mozarteum main building on Schwarzstrasse (completed 1914), the physical centre of Salzburg's concert life and music education for over a century.

The Italian master builder who designed and built Salzburg Cathedral (1614-1628) and Hellbrunn Palace (1613-1619), two of the most important buildings in the city. He is buried in St. Peter's Cemetery.

A pupil of Palladio hired by Wolf Dietrich von Raitenau to design a monumental cathedral on the scale of St. Peter's in Rome. The project was never realised after Wolf Dietrich's downfall, but Scamozzi's influence on Salzburg's baroque ambitions is part of the city's architectural DNA.
