Take a tour of City Hall of Basel in Basel, Switzerland – part of the World’s Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.
Walk through Basel’s Marktplatz, and you can’t help but be drawn to the splendor of the bright and beautiful Rathaus.
The Rathaus, or city hall building, was constructed in various centuries and in various styles, making it a true architectural fusion.
The middle section was constructed in the early 16th century, and the Art Nouveau towers on either side were added in 1904.
Sculptures and paneling colorfully recount the history of the city.
The outer walls of the Rathaus are adorned with beautiful murals, as is the inner courtyard.
Some buildings represent a mere point in history; the poetic Rathaus tells the story of the city of Basel.
