The 500 year-old Rathaus (Town Hall) in Basel.
Here's something that a curious person might like. It's called the Rathaus Basel (Basel City Hall) and it's one of the more intriguing buildings in the city of Basel, Switzerland. Built in the early 1500's, the Rathaus is more than 500 years old. I love the eye-catching red color and the intricately detailed frescoes. I'm also a sucker for medieval clocks like the one stuck to the outside of this building. While the Rathaus may not appear extravagant (compared with other European buildings), it's richly decorated inside and certainly worth a visit.
