Vindonissa

Vindonissa (from a Gaulish toponym in *windo- "white") was a Roman legion camp, vicus and later a bishop's seat at modern Windisch, Switzerland.

[1] The city of Brugg hosts a small Roman museum, displaying finds from the legion camp.

Excavations along the western edge of the Roman camp have discovered a few funeral pyre graves dating to the late Bronze Age (c. 1000–800 BC).

The first settlement of Vindonissa was a 1st-century BC Helvetii fortified village on the peninsula between the Aare and Reuss rivers.

A 2 kilometers (1.2 mi) long Roman underground canal still provides water to the fountain at Königsfelden Monastery.
