The Hohensalzburg Fortress is the landmark of the city of Salzburg. It lies on a mountain above the city, the Festungsberg, which continues northwest into the Mönchsberg. The foothills to the east of the fortress mountain are called Nonnberg, on which the Nonnberg Benedictine monastery is located directly below the eastern outskirts of the fortress - the Nonnbergbastions. With over 7,000 m² of built-up area (including the bastions over 14,000 m²), Hohensalzburg Fortress is one of the largest castle complexes in Europe, dating back to the 11th century. As one of the largest completely preserved castles in Central Europe, it has over a million visitors every year, making it the most frequently visited attraction in Austria outside of Vienna, although in the federal capital it is only surpassed by Schönbrunn Palace and Zoo and the Kunsthistorisches Museum.
