Kapitelplatz
Kapitelplatz, Salzburg, AustriaSquashed in between the cathedral and the fortress mountain is the small, but beautiful "Kapitel square". In former times this space was taken up by a monastery belonging to the cathedral and a place of prayer. As the millstones of St. Peter and the cathedral cried out for a constant water supply, the so called Almkanal was diverted through the Monchsberg-mountain to the "Kapitel square". This canal still supplies the St. Peter bakery and the fountain on the square. The fountain, showing Neptune riding on a kind of "fish horse", is one of the most stylish to be found in Salzburg. And for people who prefer a bit of action there are a communal chess-boards and a number of souvenir stalls.
