The map
Sankt Gallen lies in north-eastern Switzerland, in a narrow valley at around 670 metres above sea level, between Lake Constance and the hills of Appenzell. The city stretches for several kilometres from west to east along the valley floor, and its neighbourhoods climb the slopes on both sides. From above it looks like a long ribbon of streets held between two green ridges.
At its centre is the Abbey of Saint Gall, which grew up where the Irish monk Gallus settled in the seventh century. The abbey precinct, with its cathedral and famous library, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Around it the old town forms a compact, largely pedestrian network of lanes. It is known for its carved oriel windows and for a textile trade that made the city famous for embroidery.
Above the city, the Drei Weieren sit on the southern slope. These three historic ponds once supplied water to the textile bleaching works. A Sankt Gallen map poster captures the city's long form, the dense old town and the winding roads on the hillsides. The composition suits the precise lines of Classic black & white.
The cathedral, library and courtyards of the former abbey form a large, open rectangle within the old town, one of the clearest shapes on the map.
A compact core of narrow, largely car-free streets surrounds the abbey. Its irregular blocks reflect centuries of medieval growth.
The city follows a narrow west–east valley, and residential streets wind up the hillsides on either side, giving the poster a long, layered composition.

Why Sankt Gallen
Students of the university and textile historians know how distinctive this city is, and so does anyone who has walked up to the Drei Weieren on a summer evening. A map of Sankt Gallen marks a place of study, work or family ties in eastern Switzerland.
