Enge peninsula, Archaeological site in Felsenau, Bern, Switzerland
The Enge peninsula spans 140 hectares along the river Aar, featuring preserved ramparts that rise several meters above the water level.
During the 3rd century BC, Celtic people established an oppidum on this peninsula, followed by a Roman settlement with public buildings and temples.
The Matthäus parish house displays models of Gallo-Roman temples, providing information about architectural styles from ancient settlements in the region.
Visitors can obtain multilingual guides in German, English, and French at the parish house before exploring the archaeological remains throughout the site.
The site contains an elliptical arena measuring 28 by 26 meters, which researchers now believe served both as an amphitheater and a Gallo-Roman theatre.
