“Do Re Mi” is one of the most popular songs of "The Sound of Music" and its ending was filmed at the Mirabell Palace Gardens right in Salzburg’s old town. Built in 1606 by prince archbishop Wolf Dietrich for his mistress, it is today a beloved wedding spot. In the film, Maria and the von Trapp kids dance around the Pegasus Fountain in front of the palace. You will also recognize the steps leading to a rose garden North of the Fountain and the Greek fencing statutes at the entrance.
Fountain on Residence Square, Maria splashes the water back to the horses while singing “I Have Confidence”.
