The Federal Observatory was built in the 1860s by architect Gottfried Semper and is one of ETH Zurich's oldest research buildings. This guided tour showcases the historic dome where sunspots were observed in the 19th century and the solar tower, which served solar atmosphere research from 1951 to 1980. The tour is especially suited for visually impaired visitors and is available in sign language.
