Friedhof St Sebastian

Salzburg


Tucked behind the baroque Sebastianskirche (St Sebastian’s Church), this peaceful cemetery and its cloisters were designed by Andrea Berteleto in Italianate style in 1600. Mozart family members and well-known 16th-century physician Paracelsus are buried here, but out-pomping them all is Prince-Archbishop Wolf Dietrich von Raitenau’s mosaic-tiled mausoleum, an elaborate memorial to himself.
