History
Based in Salzburg, Austria, the Archdiocese of Salzburg (Latin: Archidioecesis Salisburgensis) leads the ecclesiastical province of Salzburg and is one of the country's two archdioceses, the other being Vienna. Through the late medieval and early modern periods its archbishops bore the title of prince-archbishops of the Holy Roman Empire, ruling the Prince-Archbishopric of Salzburg, a distinct polity that endured until 1803. In that year the territory was secularized and became the Electorate of Salzburg, bringing the archbishops' temporal authority to an end.
