This image captures one of Zurich's most iconic views: the Limmat River flowing peacefully through the city's historic center. On the left rises the elegant green spire of the Fraumunster, the church founded in 853 by Louis the German, famous for its Marc Chagall stained glass windows. On the right stands the bell tower of St. Peter's Church with its famous clock, the largest dial in Europe with a diameter of 8.7 meters. The historic buildings are perfectly reflected in the calm waters of the river, creating a visually striking symmetry. The blue sky with white clouds frames this view that encompasses centuries of Zurich history.
