Salzburg - Kapuzinerberg

To the east or Kurgarten in Salzburg rears the Kapuzinerberg (638m/2,093ft), the right-bank counterpart of the Mönchsberg, and which is also covered in beautiful park-like woodland. The conspicuous Capuchin Friary (Kapuzinerkloster) on the hill was built in 1599-1602 within an old medieval fortification. Along the southern side of the hill runs the Steingasse, a well-preserved medieval street, with the Steintor, a gate in the original town walls, which was given its present form in 1634.
