秋天来到老城区

瑞士首都伯尔尼的中世纪中心，看起来和大多数这些建筑在12世纪到15世纪之间首次建造时一样。现在的老城区建于1191年，位于一个狭长的半岛上，三面环绕着阿雷河。几个世纪以来，随着伯尔尼的发展，它竖起了防御墙和护城河，但随着一波又一波的扩张，这些墙和护城河又被拆毁了。取而代之的是宽敞的户外咖啡馆和市场的公共空间，比如每年秋天传统的洋葱市场（Zibelemärit）。

The medieval center of Bern, Switzerland's capital, looks much as it did when most of these buildings were first constructed between the 12th and the 15th centuries. What's now called Old Town was founded in 1191 on a long, narrow peninsula surrounded on three sides by the Aare River. As Bern grew over the centuries, it erected defensive walls and moats only to tear them down again with each successive wave of expansion. In their place are now broad public spaces for outdoor cafes and markets, like the Zibelemärit (Onion Market), an annual fall tradition.
