In-Depth Information
The early 20th century saw population growth and the founding of the prestigious
Salzburg Festival in 1920. Austria was annexed to Nazi Germany in 1938 and during
WWII some 40% of the city's buildings were destroyed by Allied bombings. These were
restored to their former glory, and in 1997 Salzburg's historic Altstadt (old town) became
a Unesco World Heritage site.
