Basel, Switzerland/basel016
Previous | Home | Next"Rathaus. Built 1504-1514 and 1543-47 after entry into the Confederation of Basel (1501). Perhaps after plans of Ruman Faesch and city planner Jörg Rouber. Expansion of the middle turret 1606-1608. Alcove and tower 1898-1904 by Eduard Vischer and Eduard Fueter. License architecture and murals 1608-1611 largely by Hans Bock (around 1550-1624). Rich interior during the 16-20th centuries." In the Sebastian Munster bird's-eye view of 1549, the embellishments described in this sign (turret, tower, etc.) do not yet exist.
