Precioso y con mucha historia

Bern in taksim meydanı. İsviçre nin sembollerinden biri olan saat kulesi. Saat başı animasyon eşliğinde Çan çalıyor. Çok da ilgi çekici değil ama yine de görülesi şirinlikte.

Berna città stupenda …. Nel bellissimo viale dove è situato l Orologio ci sono moltissimi negozi alcuni dei quali hanno l accesso da una porta situata a filo della strada …. molto suggestivo ….
