Ring, Pedestrian square in Old Town of Bienne, Switzerland
The Ring forms a central square within the medieval Old Town of Bienne, featuring traditional Swiss architecture and stone paving throughout its surface.
During the Middle Ages, this square functioned as a primary marketplace where merchants from across the region gathered to trade goods and supplies.
The Ring serves as a central location for outdoor markets, community events, and seasonal celebrations that bring together local residents.
Vehicles require special permits to access the Ring for deliveries, which are restricted to specific hours to maintain pedestrian safety.
