Turicum, Archaeological site in Lindenhof hill, Zürich, Switzerland
The Roman settlement of Turicum extends across both sides of the Limmat River at Lake Zurich, featuring foundations of ancient structures and defensive walls.
The settlement originated around 15 BCE as a customs station, controlling trade routes between Germania Superior and Raetia provinces during the Roman Empire.
The excavated Roman baths at Thermengasse reveal the social practices and architectural methods employed by Romans in their provincial settlements.
The remains of Turicum can be examined through preserved sections beneath Lindenhof square, including a replica Roman gravestone and bath foundations.
Archaeological discoveries at Turicum include a second-century tombstone that contains the earliest written reference to the settlement's name.
