Datos rápidos: The cathedral's twin towers reach impressively into Basel's skyline, offering a striking view that contrasts beautifully with the Rhine River nearby. Intricate carvings and colorful tile roofs draw visitors' eyes, showcasing a blend of Romanesque and Gothic styles that tell centuries of artistic evolution.
Destacados: The south tower staircase allows a climb up for panoramic views of the city and the Rhine, a perspective few get to enjoy. The patterned red sandstone exterior and vibrant roof tiles create a kaleidoscope effect under the sunlight, which looks spectacular in the afternoon light.
