纳沙泰尔的人文之旅

A culturaltour to Neuchatel

纳沙泰尔（Neuchatel）坐落在瑞士西北部汝拉（Jura）山脉南麓，是纳沙泰尔州的首府。历史上，这座城市曾被划人“日耳曼帝国”版图，德语至今仍称其为“诺恩堡”（Neuenburg）。纳沙泰尔依山傍湖，瑞士最大的湖泊-纳沙泰尔湖荡漾在城南，像一轮弯月把城市拥在怀里。老城位于肖蒙山坡（ChaumontSlopes），大都是11～18世纪的老建筑，有很多中世纪的石砌建筑，尤其是那些悠长狭窄的石板路，几百年来已被踩得坑坑洼洼，让人感到时光雕琢的强大力量。湖畔的新城则以公共建筑和政府机关为主，大学、剧院、图书馆、展览馆、州议会和市政厅等都建在这里。

Supposing that ancient walls along the ramp was stripping off and mottled,then the lovely purple petunias would cover its whole surface.In order to keep the whole environment harmonious and attractive,even the old abandoned houses whose owner was no longer remembered was repainted with large murals of various kinds.
