Bern ~ more

Bern has 11 historical fountains.
These colorful 16th c structures were to show off the town's wealth. 
They still provide cool alpine water + were charming discoveries 
as we walked along the old cobble stone streets.

of note: these original city walls had underground storage cellars. 
See them along the lower left side =above? 
Most are still being used in creative ways.

And...this cellar below was for the city's wine storage..

Original paintings on walls of this lovely restaurant...

....and lounge area.
