Chur (pronounced /koor/) is the capital of the Graubünden canton, and is also the oldest continuously settled city in Switzerland. Originally it was believed that the history of the city went back approximately 5,000 years – ‘Chur’ comes from the Celtic word kora or koria (clan, tribe). However, recently a landlord who was building an underground garage in the neighborhood below the cathedral got the surprise of his life when they discovered archeological remains that dated back approximately 13,000 years.
In Roman times, as well as more recently, Chur was an important outpost along the north-south trade routes. Although many parts of the original Roman city wall are now gone, there are still remnants around the old city center, as well as a couple of the gate towers. Much of the old town has buildings dating from 1464 to the mid 1500’s.
