Review:

Located at the foot of the Festungsberg near the Hohensalzburg Fortress, the Petersfriedhof or St. Peter's Cemetery is the oldest cemetery in Salzburg. Established in the 7th century by Saint Rupert of Salzburg as part of the St. Peter's Abbey, the cemetery is famous for its catacombs, which are hewn out of the rock of the Festungsberg. These Early Christian catacombs served both as hermitages as well as burial sites and are the final resting place of many well-known people, including the sister of Mozart.
