Basel Minster - Cloister

Basle Minster's very beautiful double cloister (entrance from Rittergasse), built in the 15th C. on Romanesque foundations, contains many monuments ranging over a period of five centuries, including that of the mathematician Bernoulli (d. 1705). The south tower can be climbed; access from inside the church. Behind the Minster is the Pfalz ("Palace"), a terrace 20 m/66ft above the Rhine with fine views of the river and the Black Forest hills.
