When I say Austria, you think of a city. Did you think of Vienna? Probably. But if there's any other Austrian city that comes to mind, it's probably Salzburg. Which isn't just a city, it's also the name of a federal state.

More information about the video content bellow:
1. Salzburg is a state (Land) of Austria. It is officially named Land Salzburg, colloquially Salzburgerland, to distinguish it from its eponymous capital Salzburg city and as such is the only state to be named after its capital.

2. Salt has played an important role in the region's development; Salzburg means "salt castle". The oldest name of the city comes from the Celts: Iuvavum . Under the Romans, Iuvavum was an administrative district within the province of Noricum or Noricum Ripense. Since the conquest of the Bavarians in the 6th century, the area of the later state of Salzburg has belonged to the Duchy of the Bavarians.

3. Salzburg is the fourth-largest city in Austria. Salzburg's historic centre (German: Altstadt) is renowned for its Baroque architecture and is one of the best-preserved city centres north of the Alps. The historic center was enlisted as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996.

4. The Eisriesenwelt "World of the Ice Giants" s a natural limestone and ice cave located in Werfen, Austria. It is the largest ice cave in the world, extending more than 42 km and visited by about 200,000 tourists every year.

5. The fortress of Hohensalzburg, one of the largest medieval fortresses in Europe, dates from the 11th century.

6. Salzburg was the birthplace of the 18th-century composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

7. Hangar-7 is a building in Salzburg, Austria, hosting a collection of historical airplanes, helicopters and Formula One racing cars, and serving as home for the Flying Bulls, a private aircraft fleet stationed in Salzburg.
