Since 1291

Twenty-six cantons. One Confederation.

735 years in the making: watch Switzerland grow from three valleys around Lake Lucerne to the 26 cantons of today, one coat of arms (Wappen · armoiries · stemma · vopna) at a time.

Warning: watching this may trigger acute Kantönligeist.

Animated map of Switzerland. The coats of arms of the cantons appear in the order they joined the Confederation, from Uri, Schwyz and Unterwalden in 1291 to Jura in 1979.
Quick: which canton joined last? Hint: it's probably not the one your Grosi is from.
