Nowhere in Basel is there a greater concentration of sculptural works in the urban space than in the central district of Blumenrain, Schifflände and Fischmarkt. Emperor and Pope, Christ and Devil, biblical Three Kings, Princess of Heaven, Janus, Mercury, Helvetia, dragon or lion through to tug-of-war, fisherman's boy, Lällekönig and Amazon invite you to pause for a moment.
