Bern, Switzerland🇨🇭

Bern is the capital of Switzerland and was founded in 1191 by Duke Berchtold V of Zähringen. Its medieval old town, built on a bend of the Aare River, developed as a strategic trade and political center. In 1353, Bern joined the Swiss Confederation and later became one of its most powerful cities. Today, Bern’s well-preserved Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, known for its medieval architecture and historic clock tower (Zytglogge). 🇨🇭
