Salzburg Cathedral
The cathedral facade is made of Untersberg marble and has twin towers on either side with curved gables.
The facade is divided into three sections; there are three large arched portals with bronze doors. Statues stand between the doors, a sculpture of St. Rupert holding a salt barrel in reference to Salzburg's connection with salt mines; St. Virgilius holding a model of the cathedral; St. Peter holding keys and St. Paul holding a sword.
