Many of the buildings date back to the 15th century and the surrounding hills and wooded riverbanks give it a wonderful atmosphere. The rich and interesting history and architecture have earned the city a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Fountain: there are many fountains scattered around the city with the most famous ones located in the middle of Krammegasse. The Zahringen Fountain is dedicated to the city's founder and was constructed in 1535. The Samson Fountain is well-known as it features a man eating children. No one knows the true meaning of it, although many believe that it is to scare children into behaving correctly. Paul Klee Museum: features a collection of the Swiss painter's works, which were influenced by many styles including cubism and surrealism. The building's architecture is also noteworthy and it contains a children’s theatre, auditorium and art restoration room. Einstein House: is the former home of Albert Einstein from 1903 to 1905. It was here that he famously developed the theory of relativity, while working at his desk overlooking the busy streets. The museum has been restored to its original 20th century style and has numerous photos and documents relating to his life. The House of Parliament: dominate the square on Bundesplatz with their large green domes. The two chambers consist of the Naionalrat, which represents the people, and the Standerat, which represents the constituencies. Tours are available when parliament is not in session. |
