This image depicts one of the characteristic small squares in Zurich's historic center, where a decorative fountain with a sculpted column occupies the center of the space. The surrounding buildings feature facades of different colors and styles, from pink to ochre, with the typical green and blue shutters of Swiss tradition. The shop windows on the ground floor testify to the commercial vitality of this area. The stone pavement and the intimate atmosphere of this urban corner transport visitors to a past era when these squares were the hub of the city's social and commercial life.
