Schaan, Municipal center in Liechtenstein.
Schaan stands as the largest municipality of Liechtenstein, situated at 450 meters elevation between the Rhine River and eastern mountains, north of Vaduz.
Archaeological discoveries reveal Roman settlements from 15 BC, including a military fort and two legionnaire helmets now displayed in Bregenz and Zurich museums.
The Kultursommer festival presents regional performances throughout summer, while the Kulturschmiede center maintains year-round exhibitions of local and international artists.
Two railway stations, Schaan-Vaduz and Schaan Forst Hilti, connect the municipality to Swiss and Austrian rail networks with regular regional service.
The municipality contains four separate enclaves within its territory: Brunnenegg, Gritsch, Guschg, and Plankner Neugrütt, each with distinct geographical features.
