Grossmünster

  Grossmünster rises prominently on the eastern bank of the Limmat River in Zurich's charming Old Town. Dating back to the 12th century, this Romanesque church is not just an architectural highlight; it's a significant historical site that played a key role in the Protestant Reformation under the influence of Ulrich Zwingli. Visitors can admire its twin towers, each standing at 62 meters, and explore its richly adorned interior, which includes stunning stained glass by artist Augusto Giacometti. If you happen to visit in December, the area around Grossmünster comes alive with a lively Christmas market, offering a perfect blend of culture and festive cheer. While there, it's worth climbing the tower for a panoramic view of Zurich and the surrounding landscape.
