The Lindenhof – place of many historical events

A Roman fort stood on the site, back in the 4^th century which was a tax collecting point at the time. A regal palace is built by the grandson of Charlemagne in the 9^th century to live in on the same site. The Roman name of Turīcum was the precursor to the name Zurich. The name Lindenhof is taken from the tree Linden. The Helvetic Constitution was taken on the Lindenhof in 1798.
