Avenches Amphitheater

The largest city of Roman Switzerland, called Helvetia, was also its capital. The probable date of the establishment of the town is the first century AD, when it was built from scratch in the areas conquered by the Romans. In the medieval period, the city was the seat of a bishopric. The most important monuments of Aventicum are the Roman amphitheater, temples, as well as city walls and baths.
