Lucerne, Switzerland: City Hall

If we've learned nothing else on this particular tour, it's that City Halls are usually interesting to visit. Such is the case in Lucerne.

This was built between 1602 and 1606. That was before anyone landed in Jamestown, for comparison's sake. It's interesting that the structure is in the Italian Renaissance style. That probably a sign that people were starting to figure out how to get over the Alps from Southern Europe. 

A weekly market is still held here, and a warehouse has been turned into an exhibition space.
