Salzburg´s most famous poet Georg Trakl about St. Peter´s Cemetery: "Heaven smiles silently upon this mystical garden." Strong words of course, but the poet is right. As a matter of fact, this wonderful cemetery is one of the oldest of its kind in the world. Famous personalities like Michael Haydn, brother of Joseph Haydn and composer, Mozart´s sister, Nannerl, and the architect of Salzburg´s Cathedral Santino Solari have all been laid to rest here. There are also catacombs carved out of stone, which are over 1000 years old. Tip: Just take a walk there and feel the mystical atmosphere. The entrance is free.
