Münsterplatz

Situated facing the magnificent cathedral of Bern, Munsterplatz is a part of the popular Old City UNESCO Cultural World Heritage Site. Zähringerstadt, which includes Munsterplatz, was constructed during the 12th Century when the old city was being founded. The cathedral was constructed in the 15th Century and a few years later, several structures were razed to built the square opposite the cathedral.

Church of the Holy Ghost

A Swiss heritage site, the Church of the Holy Ghost, or as the locals call it, Heiliggeistkirche, is one of the forerunners for the title of 'Switzerland's largest reformed church'. Draped in history, the church has fulfilled many roles over the years which most notably include operating as a public granary and later, as the dedicated abbey to the Holy Ghost Hospital. The original structure's influence waned with the emergence of Protestant Reformation, after which it was given a much-need face-lift under the able leadership of Niklaus Schiltknecht. New additions include Baroque sandstone artworks, a series of 14 of monolithic balusters and a set of six bells cast in bronze, with the oldest piece dating back to the late 16th Century.

Käfigturm

Currently serving as an institution of the Federal Chancellery and the Parliamentary Services, Kafigturm is a historical building located in the Old City of Bern. The massive gate tower was originally constructed as a prison and it was in 1999 that it was taken over to function as the seat of the Confederation's political forum. Hosting various exhibitions and activities based on current policy issues and political topics, the forum acts as a true representation of democracy. The issues raised and highlighted here are open to debate for the public and thus ensures that proper transparency is maintained between the state and the general population.

Waldegg Castle

One of the most splendid aristocratic estates of the town, the castle now serves as a popular museum exhibiting the history and tradition of Solothurn. The various exhibits at the museum portray the life and times of Solothurn during the 18th Century.

Bundeshaus

Proudly watching over the bustling Bundesplatz square and the River Aare in the distance, the Federal Palace of Switzerland is a monumental landmark. Home to the Swiss Federal Assembly and the Federal Council, this historic edifice came in existence in 1902. A defining characteristic of this building is its magnificent, turquoise dome, clad in copper and gold ribbing, that separates the chambers hosting the National Council and Council of States. The interiors of this courtly edifice feature intricately-textured tiles and plush, carpeted stairs giving way to chandelier-lit rooms adorned with frescoes. The significance of Bundehaus stems from the fact that it is within its chambers that the nation's political decisions are forged. The majestic Bundehaus is not just a political icon, but also a striking testament to the architectural finesse and heritage of Switzerland.
