"The Northern portal, on Zwingliplatz, is the way you go in...and it has a most wonderfully carved doorway. Take the time to look closely at the Medieval stonework: there are birds and beasts and foliage, some wonderful examples of 'ordinary' clothes of the time and...on the left-hand capital, a man playing a fiddle (perhaps to calm the breasts of the savage beasts on either side of him?)."

"The bronze doors outside the Grossmünster were designed by Otto Münch. This door is decorated with scenes from Bible stories."
