Sion
Town Hall

Standing on Rue du Grand-Pont, this magnificent Renaissance-style building was built in the second half of the 17th century to assert the authority of the Bourgeoisie of Sion, which had over the years eroded the power of the bishop, until then the supreme authority of the city. It is now occupied by the bourgeois and municipal authorities, but can be visited on guided tours organised by the Tourist Office. Pass to the left or the right of the building to climb up to the Tourbillon and Valère castles.
