Description
This is Spalen Gate, the entrance to Basel Switzerland. It was built around 1200 when a second level of fortification was added to the city. A majestic, well-lit medieval tower stands prominently against a night sky, with a distinct conical roof and defensive battlements visible. The tower is flanked by modern street lights and a street with crossing pedestrians, juxtaposing the historical architecture with contemporary urban life.
