Abbey of Saint Peter in Salzburg: photos, reviews

About

The abbey of Saint Peter, erected on the remains of a Romanesque church, has undergone numerous reconstructions before it became a center of cultural and religious life. It was here that the first university of Salzburg was founded, and within the monastery walls, the crescendoing hum of Benedictine monk voices can still be heard. The interior is decorated in the Rococo style, adorned with frescoes and pristine white columns. Tourists have access to the early Christian catacombs in Mount Mönchsberg, the local cemetery, and the relics of Saint Rupert. Additionally, the local shop always sells fortified monastery wine, bread, and a variety of ecclesiastical utensils.

Çağdaş Yükselen

Salzburg’da gezilecek yerler arasında en sakin ve etkileyici duraklardan biri St. Peter Manastırı. Şehrin merkezinde olmasına rağmen kalabalıktan uzak, huzurlu bir atmosferi var. Manastırın içi oldukça sade ama tarih kokuyor. Özellikle eski mezarlık alanı ve kayanın içine oyulmuş mezar yerleri oldukça ilginç. Kilise, mimari olarak gösterişli değil ama bulunduğu ortamla birlikte insana dinginlik veriyor. Vakit varsa kısa bir yürüyüş için çok uygun. Tarih sevenler için de mimari detaylar ve mezar taşları dikkat çekici. Salzburg’un tarihi dokusunu hissetmek isteyenler için güzel bir durak.
