Canton de Jura is the youngest Swiss canton, created in 1979 after separating from Bern following decades of linguistic and cultural tensions. It has approximately 73,700 residents. Delemont, the capital with around 12,500 inhabitants, sits in a valley between the Jura mountain ridges. The town's old centre features a compact cluster of 18th-century buildings around the Place de la Gare and the Chateau de Delemont. Porrentruy, the second town, lies near the French border and retains a medieval castle above its centre.
The canton is predominantly French-speaking and rural, with an economy based on watchmaking, precision mechanics, agriculture, and small-scale manufacturing. The Franches-Montagnes plateau, known for its free-roaming Franches-Montagnes horse breed, offers an open pastoral landscape at roughly 1,000 metres altitude. Saint-Ursanne, a medieval village on the Doubs river, is considered one of Switzerland's most picturesque small towns.
