Petersfriedhof in Salzburg, Austria

Let's visit Europe again. This time we will see one of Salzburg's main sights. Petersfriedhof, also called in English as St. Peter's Cemetery is considered to be the oldest Christian cemetery in Salzburg, Austria. You can find here the graves of the many well-known and prominent people like the composer Michael Haydn and the cathedral architect Santino Solari.

You can find the Gothic St. Margaret Chapel in the middle of the cemetery which was built in 1491. Here are some images taken during our visit last June 2007.

Salzburg is a pretty city. Friedhoefe
are an interesting part in a city. They convey some of the history of a town. St.Peters looks well kept with very ornamental headstones.
