The Salzburg Residenz was the opulent seat of the prince-archbishops who ruled the city for centuries. Over 180 sumptuously decorated rooms showcase Baroque and Rococo furnishings, tapestries, and frescoes. The Residenzgalerie upstairs houses a fine European painting collection.
Original construction began in the 12th century. Archbishop Wolf Dietrich rebuilt it in Italian Renaissance style around 1600. His successor Markus Sittikus and Paris Lodron added the Baroque state rooms. Napoleon stayed here in 1805 and 1809.
