Introduction

The Federal Palace is located in Bern and is home to the Swiss Federal Parliament. Designed by architect Hans Auer, it was unveiled on April 1, 1902, at a total cost of 7.198 million Swiss francs. The two houses of the Federal Parliament are separated by a dome hall, with the exterior of the dome standing 64 meters high and the interior reaching 33 meters in height. The Swiss coat of arms is prominently displayed in the center, surrounded by the coats of arms of the 22 cantons and adorned with the Latin motto "Unus pro omnibus, omnes pro uno" (One for all, all for one). In 1979, the coat of arms of the canton of Jura was added to the mosaic on the outside.
