267 CH - Old City of Berne (1983)

Brief Description

"Founded in the 12th century on a hill site surrounded by the Aare River, Berne developed over the centuries in line with a an exceptionally coherent planning concept. The buildings in the Old City, dating from a variety of periods, include 15th-century arcades and 16th-century fountains. Most of the medieval town was restored in the 18th century but it has retained its original character."

伯尔尼古城
"伯尔尼古城于公元12世纪建在阿勒河环绕的山丘上，古城几百年 来不断发展进步，但城市的规划理念却始终如一。 伯尔尼古城保留有15世纪典雅的拱形长廊和16世纪的喷泉等建筑，这些建筑的历史可追溯到各个不同的历史时期。这座中世纪城镇的主体建筑在18世纪重新修 建，并保留了原来的历史风貌。"
