The Basel Town Hall

TheBasel Town Hall (German:Rathaus Basel, locally known asRoothuus) is a 500-year-old building dominating the Marktplatz inBasel,Switzerland.

The Town Hall houses the meetings of theCantonal Parliament as well as the Cantonal Government of thecanton of Basel-Stadt.

The Great Council Chamber at one time featured a series of frescoes painted in 1522 byHans Holbein the Younger, which have been lost.[1][2] Fragments of the work as well as some of the initial drawings are kept in theKunstmuseum.[3]

The German term "Rathaus" literally means "council house" while the localBasel German dialect term "Roothus" means both "council house" but also sounds like "red house", a pun with reference to the red sandstone facade of the building.
