Text on the Sign:
"
Regierungsplatz. Eigentlich ist jedes Land zwei-
mal gegründet worden: einmal mythisch und
einmal historisch dokumentiert. Das ist auch
im Falle von Graubünden so: 1471 sollen sich
zu Vazerol die Drei Bünde zusammengeschlossen
haben. Daran erinnert das Denkmal auf diesem
Platz. Allerdings ist dieses Gründungsdatum
nicht über alle Zweifel erhaben. Der Regierungs-
platz selber ist jüngeren Datums: Er entstand
nach dem Stadtbrand von 1829; seine heutige
Ausgestaltung hat er 1994 erhalten. Das Denk-
mal in Form eines dreiseitigen Obelisken fertigte
der Churer Bildhauer Augusto Bianchi im Jahr 1874.
