Why this is the correct answer
A cathedral church has stood on the site in Salzburg's Old Town since 774, when Bishop Virgil consecrated the original Romanesque structure. After a fire, the current early Baroque cathedral was built between 1614 and 1628 under Archbishop Markus Sittikus, making it one of the earliest Baroque churches north of the Alps. Mozart was baptized in the cathedral's font and later served as court organist there.
