St. Peter Church (Kirche St. Peter) was built on the site where a Temple of Jupiter once stood, among the ruins an Ancient Roman castle. While the first church on the site was built in the 8th<\/sup> or 9th<\/sup> century, it was replaced by a building constructed circa 1000 A.D., then by a Romanesque structure in 1230. The nave was then rebuilt in 1460 in the Gothic style. In the 13th<\/sup> century, a clock was added to the church’s tower, and while it has been replaced and added to over history, today St. Peter Church boasts the largest clock face in Europe. The diameter of the clock face in about 8.7 meters, with one on each of the four sides of the clock tower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lindenhof Park (Lindenhofplatz) in the center of Z\u00fcrich takes its name from the linden trees which fill it, and it’s something of an oasis of greenery in the middle of the city. Since the 4th<\/sup> century, this park has been used for a range of different purposes, but today it’s a favorite of both residents and visitors alike. Whatever the time of day, you’ll be likely to see people enjoying a leisurely stroll through this picturesque park. As you explore, you’ll find people playing open-air chess, and you’ll get the chance to take some fantastic photographs of the scenery, particularly if you’re lucky enough to catch the leaves changing colors as fall approaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\nLindenhof Park<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
