Noisy hustle and bustle, colorfully disguised characters and a boisterous atmosphere: all this and much more is the Fasnacht in Chur, which attracts tens of thousands of people to the city every year and inspires extraordinary creativity. The Chur Fasnacht is considered an insider's tip among die-hard Fasnacht enthusiasts, alongside major events such as the Basel or Lucerne Fasnacht. The carnival parade on Saturday, the children's parade on Sunday, the Schnitzelbank evening on Monday evening and the "little parade" on Wednesday morning are an integral part of the program.

Protective structures Roman excavations

Schutzbauten römische Ausgrabungen
Römische Ausgrabungen in Peter Zumthor Hülle

Description

The Roman conquest over 2,000 years ago is an important part of Chur's settlement history. The findings from this period are presented in the protective structures.

The protective structures above the archaeological finds from the Roman period were constructed in 1986 according to plans by the Graubünden architect Peter Zumthor. They serve as protective covers for the archaeological finds as well as for a museum and architectural jewel. The filigree-like lamellar construction is suggestive of the original dimensions of the Roman buildings.

Archaeological Site Chur

Archaeology: Roman excavations

Römische Ausgrabungen
Schutzbauten Römische Ausgrabunden
Today's Welschdörfli district of Chur has a settlement continuity that stretches from the Neolithic period to the present day. Since 1986, the settlement remains have been enclosed by protective structures designed by the Grisons architect Peter Zumthor.

Description

In Welschdörfli, the part of the old town lying south of the river Plessur, researchers found several prehistoric settlements and the remains of a Roman Street Station. The Roman conquest some 2000 years ago is an important part of Chur's settlement history. Excavations and relicts from that era are exhibited in the Areal Ackermann on Seilerbahnweg.

The protective structures covering the archaeological sites from the Roman era were built in 1986 according to designs by local architect Peter Zumthor. They do not only protect the finds, they are also a museum and architectural masterpiece. The weighty building with its delicate rilled outer surface is reminiscent of the original Roman edifices.
