How much do you know about the architectural monuments from your city?

Answer 1

Bern,, Switzerland has about 4 km. of archways - when it's raining or snowing you can walk through most of the city without getting wet! Ir was built on high ground on a bend in the river Aare on the triangular pattern popular in the Middles Ages. Defendable from every angle.
The cathedral (Munster) is Gothic/Perpendicular.
It is now a UNESCO site, but there was a lot of controversy about acceptance, because, although the facades have been preserved, many of the buildings have been gutted inside, to accommodate modern usage.
We have a 14th Century clock tower with automatons which still functions. It catches some tourists out because the movement starts 4 minutes before the hour, and ends with the striking of the clock on the hour.
Bern is noted for its fountains, which include the figure of (blind) Justice, the child eater, a giant eating children! and Moses with the tablets of the 10 Commandments.
I have lived here for over 30 years and when I used to go abroad for more than 6 months, I really missed it. Its historic buildings give me a sense of permanence. Love it.

Answer 2

About the city I'm living in now? Not much. The oldest is called Dich Turm, and it was built around the 14th century. I think it was part of the original city wall.

The cemetery gate is also from the 14th century...or maybe the 15th.

My hometown doesn't have anything NEARLY that old. The oldest building in Tacoma (Washington State) is from the 1880s. I do know what some of the original buildings were when they were built, though, and I also know who lived in my old house when it was first built in 1928.

The town I'm living in now isn't exactly known for having old buildings, since the whole city has burned down twice; the most recent burning was in the 1860s or so.
