Zurich - University
From Urich's Heimplatz, the Rämistrasse, coming from the Bellevueplatz, continues up to a terrace on which stands the University (founded 1833, rebuilt 1911-14), with a 64 m/210ft high tower. The University buildings contain a number of museums and collections. Extensive new university buildings on the Irschel, in the Unterstrasse district, were brought into use in 1978. Zurich is the largest Swiss university - in 1988 there were some 19,000 matriculated students.
