Salzburg is a city in Austria known for its baroque architecture and as the birthplace of Mozart. The name combines the German words for 'salt' (salz) and 'castle/stronghold' or 'stronghold city' (burg), referring to its historical salt trade and fortress. In English, it is pronounced with a two-syllable primary stress on the first syllable, and the second syllable ending softly with a 'ts' or 's' sound, depending on speaker.
