Centum Prata, Archaeological site in Kempraten, Switzerland.

The archaeological remains of Centum Prata extend over an area of 300 meters north-south and 200 meters east-west along the eastern shore of Lake Zurich.

Founded around 40 AD, Centum Prata developed at the intersection of major Roman roads connecting Turicum to Vitudurum, becoming a regional trade center.

The site contains remnants of commercial buildings, residential structures, and religious temples that showcase the architectural methods of Gallo-Roman civilization.

Researchers continue excavation work at Centum Prata, uncovering artifacts and structural elements that provide information about ancient Swiss settlements.

The name Centum Prata, meaning 100 meadows, evolved through Centoprato and Centiprata to become the modern name Kempraten.
