Aarau is the capital of the Swiss canton of Aargau, located in the northern Swiss Mittelland where the Aare River bends southward. It sits approximately 40 kilometers west of Zurich and 50 kilometers east of Basel, making it one of the most centrally connected mid-sized cities in the German-speaking Swiss heartland. The city is historically significant as a brief capital of the Helvetic Republic in 1798 and retains a concentrated medieval core distinguished by its corbelled, painted rooftops, a feature unique within Switzerland.
