Cemeterial cloister...

Salzburg (Austria)

St. Sebastian's cemetery was built in 1502 and holds the remains of some big Austrian names. Mozart’s wife and father rest there, as well as the Archbishop Wolf Dietrich, who helped make Salzburg rich with his salt mines, and who was later arrested and imprisoned over salt-mine rights.
The amazing matter is that this old cemetery is practically in the middle of a lively and merry pedestrian street, full of small shops, cafés and restaurants.
You just need to push a gate by St. Sebastian's Church and you can enter this slightly morbid, but definitely evocative cemetery.
