    A beautiful tower, you can see the spire as soon as you leave the station, the design is more chic, is arced to receive points. There is a small clock in the upper part of the tower, the dial is red, more conspicuous.

    A beautiful and striking building. The huge arches that can pass through large vehicles at the bottom occupy half of the street; the four-story exterior wall, with a gold-pointed Swiss clock; the top of the spiky towers straight into the clouds. The prison was originally built as a prison for prisoners, so it was called the "jail tower". When the Bern city was expanded, it became the west gate of the old city. After a large renovation in 1979, it was used as a place for office and exhibitions. On the outside of the tower is a small square, and the Anna-Sail fountain is set up in the center of the square. People come and go, very lively. The prison tower is the only way to visit the old city. Cross the tower eastward, you can watch the clock tower in turn~ Einstein's former residence~ Xiongyuan~ Rose Garden~

    It looks more like a bell tower. We walked across the bridge from the hotel in the new district. The first thing we can see is this spire building. Also, the street tram on the central axis where the crossroads are located is unusually busy. It is the hottest in this small city. A noisy area, right?

    It's very close to the railway station. It's only a few minutes'walk. It's said that it used to be a prison, full of prisoners. Now it's a small scenic spot. There are several floors, the spire is quite high, and there's a bell on it. Of course, it's not more charming than the big bell.
