St. Peter's is the only church in Salzburg with a Rococo interior. I'm not sure how old this church is, but from the outside it appears to be very old.
The picture below is the tomb of St. Rupert.
This is St. Peter's cemetery. I read somewhere that gravesites in Austria are not owned, they're rented. Bills are sent out every 10 years and if there's nobody left who's willing to pay for it, the bones are dug up and chucked. I wonder if that's true!
Remember the scene in the Sound of Music where the von Trapp's are hiding out in the cemetery at Nonnburg? Well, that scene was filmed in a Hollywood studio but this cemetery inspired that scene.

The cemetery where the Von Trapp's hid is really cool! I'm very excited about it and Gwen and Chris are staring at me like I'm crazy.
Well, you are a little crazy at times! LOL!
