Petinesca
: Celtic and Roman remains
The ruins of the Celtic and Roman settlement of Petinesca are still visible in the south-east corner of the municipality on the slopes of Jensberg mountain. The site comprises a Celtic fortification (Oppidum), and a fortified village dating from the Roman Empire. Petinesca was mentioned in the
Tabula Peutingeriana and the
Antonine Itinerary as a station on the road between
Aventicum 
(
Avenches 
) and Salodurum (
Solothurn 
). The Roman site dates from around the middle of the 1st century AD, however the Celtic Oppidum is probably older.
