The image depicts the Limmat River as it crosses the heart of Zurich, with a perspective embracing both banks of the old town. On the left stands the bell tower of St. Peter's Church, recognizable by its large golden clock. Historic buildings with colorful facades overlook the river directly, testimony to the importance the Limmat has always had for the city's commercial development. The calm waters reflect the blue sky and white clouds, while a stone bridge connects the two parts of the city. This view represents the essence of Zurich: a city that has preserved its historical heritage while being one of the most important financial centers in the world.
