It is located right in the center of the old part of Basel, the Marktplatz. As the brochure says, not only is it the center of city government in Basel. It's also a wonderful building, full of paintings and sculptures that date back centuries. That's Lucius Munatius Plancus in the front entrance area; it was a gift from sculptor Hans Michel in 1580. The building has served this purpose for more than 500 years.
You can tour the place the next time you are in Basel. Or you can spent five minutes watching this.
