Solothurn

Last Saturday I went to Solothurn, capital of Solothurn canton, northwestern Switzerland. It is touted as the most beautiful Baroque city of the country and I must agree since this country is a beautiful country for sure but its baroque’s architecture is very poor!

This charming medieval town grew around the remains of the Roman fort, which was founded in the 8 century It lies along the Aare River, as almost every single city here, what is a great attractive!

It was a very sunny bright day and along the river, there are many cool bars and I stopped at one of them f or a glass of prosecco. By the way, the first one I stopped, got a table and sat looking at the river was closing and it was 6 PM of a very beautiful and warming Saturday! They even closed the gate of the river’s sidewalk!
In the other side of the bridge one bar remained open and I could delight myself with my cold prosecco!

It was a very pleasure day!!

The Zeitglockenturm, the Clock tower
