Abstract

Archaeological excavations have been underway since September 2023 in the southern inner courtyard (Innenhof) and within the Neue Residenz in downtown Salzburg. These investigations have uncovered remains from a wide range of periods—from modern times back to the 1st century AD—offering valuable insights into Salzburg’s ancient, medieval, and post-medieval history. The complete excavation of the nearly 2,000 m² has significantly improved our understanding of the urban settlement structure of Roman, medieval, and Baroque Salzburg, contributing to the reconstruction of the topography of the municipium of Iuvavum and, subsequently, of medieval and early modern Salzburg.
