The Basel Minster is one of the main landmarks and tourist attractions of the Swiss city of Basel. It adds definition to the cityscape with its red sandstone architecture and coloured roof tiles, its two slim towers and the cross-shaped intersection of the main roof. The Münster is listed as a heritage site of national significance in Switzerland.

Winter is coming to Basel. The sky is overcast, the Rhine River is slate gray, and fewer people are in the streets. It will be a long time until summer.
