点评:Built in the early 17th century, Mirabell palace is a historic building in the centre of Salzburg. Later rebuilt in the Baroque style, today it is famous for its marble hall, formerly the archbishop's banqueting hall, and the angel staircase, known by this name due to the putti (baby angel) decorations on it. The marble hall is worth exploring for its marble pillars and its beautiful ceiling frescoes and nowadays it is used for weddings, concerts and awards ceremonies.
Unfortunately, we didn't get to see the angel staircase or the marble hall so my description of them above is based on what I've read about them online. However, we did get to explore the gardens and we really enjoyed walking around them. Some of the highlights of the gardens are the dwarf garden, which contains 28 statues of dwarves, the hedge theatre, and the large parterre garden with a central fountain with statues symbolising the four elements of earth, air, fire, and water. Other parts of the gardens worth noting are the Pegasus fountain and the statues of classical figures such as Hercules and Aeneas.
Fans of the musical The Sound of Music will probably be particularly excited to visit the gardens as they were used as the setting for several scenes of the film. Today, the gardens, along with the palace, are among the most popular attractions in Salzburg and rightfully so as they're lovely and they're free to visit. If you ever visit Salzburg, you should definitely make sure you explore the gardens and the palace. However, you should check opening times as the marble hall specifically is only open at certain times on particular days of the week. Please do also take note that most of the Mirabell palace is actually occupied by the city administration, so don't expect to spend a huge amount of time in the palace itself.
翻译:米拉贝尔宫建于17世纪初,是萨尔茨堡市中心一座历史悠久的建筑。后来,它被重建成巴洛克风格,如今以其大理石大厅(原为大主教的宴会厅)和天使阶梯而闻名。天使阶梯因其上方装饰的“小天使”(putti)而得名。大理石大厅的大理石柱和精美的天花板壁画值得一探究竟,如今这里常用于举办婚礼、音乐会和颁奖典礼。
遗憾的是,我们没有亲眼看到天使阶梯和大理石大厅,所以我上面的描述是基于我在网上看到的。不过,我们还是参观了花园,并且非常享受在花园里漫步的时光。花园的亮点包括矮人花园(内有28尊矮人雕像)、树篱剧场以及大型花坛花园,花园中央设有喷泉,喷泉上的雕像分别象征着地、气、火、水四大元素。花园其他值得一提的还有飞马喷泉以及赫拉克勒斯和埃涅阿斯等古典人物的雕像。
音乐剧《音乐之声》的粉丝们可能会特别期待参观花园,因为这里曾是电影中多个场景的拍摄地。如今,花园和宫殿都是萨尔茨堡最受欢迎的景点之一,这当之无愧,因为它们不仅景色优美,而且免费开放。如果您有机会到访萨尔茨堡,一定要参观花园和宫殿。不过,您需要查看开放时间,因为大理石大厅仅在每周特定日期的特定时间开放。还请注意,米拉贝尔宫的大部分区域实际上都被市政府占用,所以不要指望在宫殿里花费大量时间。
