Delemont

Tucked into the Delémont valley in the Jura Mountains, Delémont is a place whose character is shaped by the Sorne River and enclosing limestone ridges. As the capital of the Canton of Jura, created in 1979, it is the administrative and civic centre of Switzerland’s youngest canton. The compact Old Town retains historic gateways, including the Porte de Porrentruy and Porte au Loup, while the Church of Saint-Marcel anchors its traditional streetscape. Rail connections and roads link the town with Basel, the French border and the wider Swiss Jura.
