Saint Ursanne is a city and a municipality of the district of Porrentruy in the canton of Jura, Switzerland
which has preserved its medieval character.
The famous Tolkien illustrator and Conceptual artist of “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy is no stranger to St-Ursanne. Occasional visits have inspired many of his drawings, including the one of the medieval Saint Jean bridge.
BERN 2004
UNESCO Worldheritage
With its time-honoured sandstone buildings, historic towers and unique fountains Bern is one of the finest examples of mediaeval civic architecture in Europe. The city’s appearance has remained virtually unchanged for centuries, earning Bern a place on the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites. Thanks to this honour the city with its popular Bear Pits (the bear is Bern’s heraldic symbol) is on a par with Rome, the Egyptian pyramids and the Taj Mahal. Bern is also the seat of the Swiss government.
