Basel: Rathaus


This is one of the most beautiful Town Halls I've ever seen. The color and tile roof are amazing!

It's a really beautiful place but I especially love the light streaming through the stained glass windows! Gorgeous!

Fantastic photographs. I've never been inside. So great.
We used to sit on the other side of the square and admire the rathaus.
