An evocative perspective shows the Grossmunster from the level of the Limmat River, with its twin towers dominating the buildings of the Niederdorf district. Historic houses with their colorful facades line the riverbank, reflecting in the waters. A bridge connects the two banks, while in the background the profile of the Zurich hills can be glimpsed. The cathedral, symbol of the Protestant Reformation in Switzerland, is one of the most photographed buildings in the city. The dramatic clouds in the sky add depth to this composition capturing the architectural and historical essence of Zurich.
