Austria (Part 4: Still More Salzburg!)

Warning: This is going to be pretty picture-heavy! Click to see larger versions of the photos.



Our tour of the Old Town continued. 
This is an old street lined with shops. 



A random restaurant



A very old church (on the right) with a very old painting (on the archway)



An old square. Notice the well-lit archway on the far left side?



In that old square, we encountered Europe's oldest restaurant
(in the center of this photo; the archway on the right is the entrance to the restaurant)



It was founded in 803AD!



We also found a 12th century bakery with really good bread baked in the original wood-fired ovens!
The streets around this bakery smelled amazing, and were very loud on account of the waterwheel that supplies some of the bakery's power. 



One of many open squares/plazas with the fortress keeping watch 



Soggy horses



A statue of Mozart in Mozartplatz.
The statue was installed in 1842 in the presence of Mozart's sons.
His wife died just a few months before the unveiling. 



Evening in the Old Town
