▲ Basel Minster is a famous church in Basel and an important cultural heritage site of Switzerland. The church was originally built in 1019 in Romanesque style, but after the 1356 earthquake, parts were rebuilt in Gothic style, resulting in a unique blend of both architectural styles. The main entrance features statues of Henry II and his empress on either side. Its two towers are the 64.2-meter-high St. George's Tower and the 62.7-meter-high St. Martin's Tower, with sculptures depicting St. George slaying the dragon and St. Martin on horseback beneath them.
▲ The cathedral houses many precious artifacts and artworks, such as the 11th-century relief sculpture "The Six Apostles," a baptismal font from 1486, and a pulpit. Many notable figures are buried here, including the renowned European humanist thinker Erasmus and Gertrude Anna, the first wife of Rudolf I of the Habsburg family. The cathedral's colorful roof is particularly striking, featuring a clock resembling a sundial. Behind the church, there is a large terrace offering panoramic views of the Rhine River, the headquarters of Roche on the opposite bank, as well as Germany's Black Forest and France's Vosges Mountains.
