Basel Cathedral, Basel Overview
Basel Cathedral is a historic Gothic and Romanesque-style cathedral located in the heart of Basel, Switzerland, overlooking the Rhine River. Built between the 12th and 15th centuries, it is known for its striking red sandstone exterior, twin towers, and intricate tiled roof. Visitors can explore the interior’s medieval artworks, climb the towers for panoramic city views, or relax in the adjacent Pfalz terrace, a scenic spot above the Rhine.
This cathedral was destroyed after an earthquake back in 1356. When it was re-built, the exteriors were typically Gothic in style while the interiors were more Romanesque. Two or more people can climb up the long Gothic towers, for CHF 5 per person. The interiors also portray several figures such as St.George slaying the dragon. There are a number of towers too, each one as beautiful as the other. Munster also offers you a stunning view of the River Rhine and you can even spot the Black Forest and Alsace in the glimmering distance from here.
