The archaeological site on Gutenberg hill is situated in Balzers (Liechtenstein). Gutenberg is a 70 m high rock outcop. Because of the topological advantage of the hill, the site was continuously inhabitated since the Neolithic, as shown by finds from the Rössen Culture (ca. 3000 BC).
Other important finds are the Celtic bronze figures (ca. 2nd-1rst century BC), which include iconic animal figures (boar and deer) as well as a warrior deity ("Mars Alator" or "Mars von Gutenberg"). They are displayed in the Liechtensteinisches Landesmuseum.
Today, the Medieval Gutenberg Castle can still be visited at the site.
