Luzern, Switzerland
A fitting symbol -- Pedestrian
bridges and water towers are the most utilitarian of architectural
expressions, and they serve well to characterize the pragmatic nature of
Swiss culture. The Chapel Bridge, built in 1333 and recently restored
after being gutted by fire, features panels on its gables depicting
illustrations of Swiss history. It crosses the River Reuss alongside an
even more ancient water tower.
