"✏️Kapitelplatz is located between the Salzburg Cathedral and the Hohensalzburg Fortress. It’s most proeminent feature is a work of art, called “Sphaera”, created by Stephan Balkenhol, which represents a huge golden globe with a statue of a man standing on top of it.
In the square there are also multiple sales booths, an oversized chess board and a Neptune’s Fountain, built in 1732 on the site of one of the old horse ponds, which shows the God of the Sea holding a trident and a crown while being mounted on a seahorse spurting water. "

"I'm including this square because it has a great view of Fortress Hohensalzburg! When I went, there was also a market here that had some great pretzels!"
