Images of Zürich in Switzerland, taken in January 2014.
“Zürich is the largest city in Switzerland and the capital of the canton of Zürich. It is located in north-central Switzerland. The municipality has approximately 400,000 inhabitants, and the metropolitan area 1.83 million.
“Permanently settled for around 2000 years, the history of Zürich goes back to its founding by the Romans, who, in 15 BC, called it Turicum. However, early settlements have been found dating back more than 6400 years ago. During the Middle Ages Zürich gained the independent and privileged status of imperial immediacy and, in 1519, became a primary centre of the Protestant Reformation in Europe under the leadership of Ulrich Zwingli.”
