Salzburg, the capital of the province of Salzburg, lies on the Salzach River near the border with Germany. At Salzburg the river passes between two lofty masses of rock, one of which, the Mönchsberg (523 meters high), bears an 11th-century fort. Salzburg was the birthplace of the famous composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and it is a well-known resort and the site of internationally famous annual music and drama festivals. It is the seat of Salzburg University, founded in 1622, and the University of Music and Dramatic Art in Salzburg. A 17th-century cathedral in the Italian Renaissance style is in the city. Originally a Celtic settlement and later a Roman trading center called Juvavum, Salzburg was incorporated into Austria in 1814.
