Fodor's Review:
The Makartplatz -- named after Hans Makart, the most famous Austrian painter of the mid-19th-century -- is dominated at the top (east) end by Fischer von Erlach's first architectural work in Salzburg, built 1694-1702. It was modeled on a church by Borromini in Rome and prefigures von Erlach's Karlskirche in Vienna. Dominated by a lofty, oval-shape dome -- which showcases a painting by Michael Rottmayr -- this church was the result of the archbishop's concern that Salzburg's new town was developing in an overly haphazard manner. The church interior is small but perfectly proportioned, surmounted by its dome, whose trompe-l'oeil fresco seems to open up the church to the sky above.
