Martinskirche
Martinskirchplatz 4, Basel, SwitzerlandTel: +41 61 261 45 07
High above the Rhine you'll find the Martinskirches, hidden away in the maze of streets that compose the Old Town. Even residents of the area around are confused when you ask for directions to the church. As with many other churches, different parts of the Martinskirche date from different peiods. Only the chancel and the bottom of the tower survived the 1356 earthquake. In the following decades the church was rebuilt. In 1928 paintings from 1370 were uncovered. The church, with its 3 naves, is famous for its acoustics, and is often used for concerts. The bells of the Martinskirche ring the Autumn Fair in and out every year.
