Mozartplatz

[1][2] The square was created by Prince-Archbishop Wolf Dietrich von Raitenau who ordered the demolition of a number of houses on this site in the early 17th century.

[2] On the north side of the square, the low Imhofstöckl houses the city's tourist information office.

On the west side are the Salzburg Christmas Museum and the Café Glockenspiel, and in the south-west corner the Mozartplatz opens into the adjacent Residenzplatz.

[1] A copy of the Roman mosaic can still be found at the foot of the statue, and bears an inscription: "hic habitat (felicitas), nihil intret mali", meaning "Here lives (the luck or happiness), nothing evil might enter".
