Salzburg (;
Austro-Bavarian:
Såizburg; ) is a
state (
Land) of
Austria. It is officially named
Land Salzburg, colloquially
Salzburgerland, to distinguish it from its eponymous capital, the City of
Salzburg. By its centuries-long history as an independent
Prince-Bishopric, Salzburg's tradition differs from the other Austrian lands.
