Start your observation of the city by visiting the local Historical Museum. It is located in a beautiful building stylized to the antique style. The museum resembles a dark gothic castle. Here you can see as many as 250 000 priceless artifacts, including a rich collection of medieval tapestries, weapons and ancient historical artifacts. One of the museum’s halls exhibits items from the Stone Age, and other several halls are devoted to collections of objects of the national art. Bern Cathedral surely remains the undisputed symbol of the city. The construction of the church started in 1421. The building of the church was finished only a century and a half later. Even nowadays the beautiful cathedral continues impressing its visitors with its unique design and unforgettable architectural forms. A beautiful portal is considered the main decoration of the cathedral. The portal’s bas-relief depicts several scenes from Day of Judgment.

Religious monuments in the city deserve the highest praise. For instance, the most important cathedral, Münsterkirche, is famous for having the highest spire in all of Switzerland.

Other individual elements appeared here after some time – in particular, the bell tower was built in the 19th century. Beautiful views of the city can also be beheld from the bell tower. Close to the church you can come across Mosesbrunnen – an important religious monument, depicting Moses with the first testament about the inadmissibility of the creation of an idol.
