Münsterplatz, Basel

Highlight • Historical Site

The Münsterplatz is one of the oldest squares in Basel and is located in front of the Basel Minster that gives it its name. The square is lined with many hundreds of years old former canons' houses, so that the medieval character has been preserved.
