Oppidum Zürich-Lindenhof, Archaeological site and architectural structure on Lindenhof hill, Zürich, Switzerland.

The fortified settlement measures 350 meters in length and 250 meters in width, covering an area of 10 hectares on Lindenhof hill.

The Romans established a military citadel with ten towers and defensive walls during Emperor Valentinian I reign between 364 and 375 CE.

Excavations at the site revealed a round wooden temple from Emperor Hadrian's time and Celtic coin hoards indicating religious practices.

The archaeological site features stone tables, designated recreational areas, and multiple excavation points accessible through marked pathways.

The granite layers at Alpenquai contain Potin lumps, collections of fused Celtic coins that demonstrate ancient monetary practices.
