Salzburg: Catacombs

The catacombs are built into a rocky hill, but there are a cemetery and mausoleum outside, as well, with new burials still being made. I'm sure that costs a fortune.

Mozart's sister and Haydn's brother are buried here.

The date on the stone in the middle says 1491.

I don't know Latin, but the gist of this is that in the year 477 some stuff happened and there was a fire. I think.
