Salzburg signs


I've posted a few blogs about Salzburg and some included photographs of the wrought iron signs there.  

But since they are unique I thought I give them their due, 

and post a blog focusing entirely on them.  

The tradition began with guild signs in the middle ages, 

but these days all businesses have them.  

Why not? They're fun.  

The best place to sign-watch is The Getreidegasse.  

Since it's also the biggest shopping street right in the middle of the old town,
it tends to be on everyone's list.  

But signs can really be found throughout Salzburg.  Look at the iron work on this one!

And this one for a florist is my favorite.  A pre-emoji!!!

Here are the previous Salzburg blogs...




Cheers!
