Basel
Description:
A walk through the historic center of Basel will be compact, rich and interesting.
She suggests that we will see:
The market square, which was once considered the center of life in Basel. Here was trade, brought in execution of court sentences and went under the hammer property. The market is still buzzing on Marktplatz these days. Here you can always find the freshest local cheeses, asparagus from France and wine from Germany.
The Spalentor Gate, which once formed part of the fortress wall of Basel and is considered the most beautiful city gate of Switzerland.
The Church of St. Elizabeth is one of the most beautiful churches in Basel, built in 1864.
St. Martin’s Church and its observation deck is the oldest parish church built in 1000.
Middle bridge over the Rhine, where you can admire both the old and new Basel
The Tengly Fountain, created by the famous sculptor Jean Tangley, is installed on the site of a burned-out theater. Perhaps that is why the Swiss innovator, who created in the style of “metamechanics”, decided to make it entirely from surviving props.
