Salzburg has managed to preserve an extraordinarily rich urban fabric developed between the Middle Ages and the 19th century, while it was a city-state ruled by a prince-archbishop. Its striking Gothic art drew many craftsmen and artists before it became even better known through the work of the Italian architects Vincenzo Scamozzi and Santini Solari, to whom the centre of Salzburg owes much of its baroque appearance. This meeting point of northern and southern Europe perhaps sparked the genius of Salzburg's most famous son, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, whose universal renown has shone on the city ever since.
