Goldgasse (Salzburg)
The Golden Lane is a narrow alley in the old city of Salzburg crossing, those who Brodgasse at Altenmarkt and extending in an arc to the Residence Square leads. The houses on Goldgasse have five to six storeys. Most of the facades are smooth. The alley was also called Milchgasse until the early 19th century because of a small milk market, but occasionally also called Schlossergässchen or Sporergässchen (the Sporer were locksmiths for riding accessories). The street has its current name because of the goldsmiths who once lived here.
