Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, copy of plaster relief by Posch in Vienna 1789. Mozart's Birthplace museum, Salzburg, Austria

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, copy of the plaster relief by Leonard Posch in Vienna 1788/1789, based on the bronze cast (in the coin cabinet) of the original lost plaster relief by Posch. Since 1880, Mozart's Birthplace has exhibited the composer’s early life at Hagenauer Haus, No. 9 Getreidegasse, in Salzburg, Austria. Mozarts Geburtshaus is a wonderful pilgrimage site for Mozart fans and history buffs. The prolific Classical music composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart lived 1756–1791. Salzburg is the fourth-largest city in Austria and is renowned for its Baroque architecture, with one of the best-preserved city centers north of the Alps. The town is on the site of the Roman settlement of Iuvavum. Salzburg was founded as an episcopal see in 696 and became a seat of the archbishop in 798. Its main sources of income were salt extraction, trade, and gold mining. The fortress of Hohensalzburg, one of the largest medieval fortresses in Europe, dates from the 11th century. In 1600s, Salzburg became a center of the Counter-Reformation, with monasteries and numerous Baroque churches built. Salzburg's Altstadt, or old town, is honored by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. Busy Altstadt centers on Getreidegasse, a narrow, pedestrian street with shops selling folk costumes and antiques.
