THE FIVE ORGANS CHURCH



The lavish baroque style cathedral in Salzburg, home of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, has no fewer than five organs. Two of the four smaller ones are visible here. There are two more evenly spaced in the front of the church (towards the altar) and a much larger one in the back (near the entrance). Our guide said the acoustics in the church are perfect for concerts of Mozart's music, and is used often for that purpose.
