Lindenhof, Historic square in Altstadt, Zürich, Switzerland
Located on a hilltop, Lindenhof square overlooks the Limmat River and provides views of Grossmünster Church, City Hall, and the University buildings.
The Roman military built a fortress with ten towers and two-meter walls on this elevation during the fourth century to protect the customs station.
The Hedwig Fountain commemorates the women of Zürich who protected the city in 1292 by wearing armor while the men fought at another location.
Multiple stone benches around the perimeter of Lindenhof square allow visitors to rest while observing chess players and street performances throughout the day.
The square contains a replica of a second-century Roman tombstone displaying the earliest written record of Turicum, the original name of Zürich.
