MIRABELL GARDEN AND PALACE

The Mirabell Gardens is a good example of a typical baroque park. It was built in the 18th century following the plans of the famous architect Fischer von Erlach. Countless statues inspired by Greek myths can be seen throughout the park and they symbolize the four elements of nature: fire, water, air and earth. This is also where, right by the Pegasus fountain, Maria and the Von Trapp children started that famous "Do-re-mi" ditty in The Sound Of Music.

Location: Salzburg, Austria
