Maria Saal

Maria Saal stands on the Zollfeld plain in Carinthia, Austria, where a broad basin north of Klagenfurt is framed by gentle hills. The town is best known for the Church of the Assumption of Mary, often called Maria Saal Cathedral; its two western towers form a defining landmark of the plain and mark a long-established pilgrimage destination. The area also holds an important place in regional history. Nearby stood Virunum, the Roman provincial capital of Noricum, while the Duke’s Chair on the Zollfeld is associated with the installation of Carinthian dukes. Maria Saal brings Roman archaeology, medieval political tradition and living Catholic practice together in a compact rural setting.
