Originally a defensive tower, it was converted into a prison in the 13th century and later into a clock tower. Today, it houses one of the oldest astronomical clocks in Switzerland and a carillon. The Zytglogge is famous for its intricate clock, which not only tells the time but also depicts the movements of the sun, moon, and stars. It also features playful figures that move at specific times.

Federal Palace Bern, history On April 1, 1902, the new building was ceremoniously handed over to the Swiss Confederation. Where a music hall and an old hospital once stood, parliament and government now meet. The Federal Palace in Bern has its task of uniting the country's inhabitants literally carved in stone. When the Federal Constitution came into force on September 12, 1848, the question of where the government and parliament should be located was not yet clear. It was not until November that the Federal Assembly decided on Bern as the seat of the authorities. Two years later, the Bern municipal council announced an architectural competition for the "Federal City Hall". In the meantime, the Federal Council met in the Erlacherhof, the current seat of the Bern government. With the total revision of the Federal Constitution in 1874, the federal government was suddenly given new areas of responsibility that had previously been the responsibility of the cantons. The administration soon reached its space limits and a new building was needed. The city therefore handed over its responsibility to the federal government two years later. In 1880, he bought the Inselspital building, which had to make way for the new Federal Palace seven years later. An architectural competition was held again, and Alfred Friedrich Bluntschli and Hans Wilhelm Auer were chosen as the winners. This is how today's Federal Palace East was created, a symmetrical counterpart to the existing "Federal City Hall" in the west. Eleven years later, the two architects Bluntschli and Auer were invited to another competition, this time for a parliament building between the two administrative wings. Although an international committee of architects was called upon to select the best design, in 1891 the Federal Council decided on its own authority to accept Hans Wilhelm Auer's proposal. This proposed a domed building in the style of the Capitol in Washington D.C. After several years of work, 30 types of Swiss stone were used with the help of 38 local artists to create a national monument with an impact on all cantons. The new building was ceremoniously handed over to the Swiss Confederation on April 1, 1902. The building cost 7.2 million Swiss francs – compared to today's conditions, this would be equivalent to around 700 million Swiss francs.

The fortified tower, which has been extended several times, was built between 1218 and 1220 as the western end of the main street of Bern, a city founded in 1191. With each expansion of the city, which, due to the location of Bern's old town in a bend of the Aare River, could only proceed westward, the tower moved further into the city center, lost its function as a defensive tower, and was subsequently used for other purposes. Before the great city fire of 1405, it served as a prison. Afterward, it was rebuilt as a clock tower – the Zytglogge Tower or simply Zytglogge – using Bernese sandstone. Its clock with striking mechanism displayed the time binding for the entire city. Travel time was measured from the tower. In 1530, the cuboid tower acquired its towering form and a new clock. Decrees and ordinances are posted in the gateway, and since the 18th century, units of measurement for public control have been displayed there. With the late Baroque renovations of 1770/71, it was fully integrated into its surroundings. Source: Wikipedia.
