Basel-St. Alban, Riverside neighborhood in Basel, Switzerland.
The district features narrow cobblestone streets lined with traditional timber-framed buildings alongside the Rhine River, creating a medieval quarter layout.
During the Middle Ages, the district developed around water-powered paper mills and textile manufacturing facilities, establishing Basel's industrial foundation.
Modern art galleries occupy former industrial spaces, while the Museum of Contemporary Art presents rotating exhibitions in a converted factory building.
The district connects to Basel's public transit network through multiple tram stops and bus stations, providing direct access to the city center.
Water channels from the Middle Ages still flow through the district, powering preserved wooden water wheels visible from pedestrian walkways.
