Bellikon is a municipality in the district of Baden in the canton of Aargau in Switzerland. thumb|Aerial view (1952)

==History== The area was settled during Roman times. The Roman road between Vindonissa (Windisch) and Turicum (Zürich) ran through here. In 1934, bricks were found which on examination proved to belong to a villa, which was excavated and documented in 1941, and afterwards covered up again with the help of interned Polish soldiers. Articles found on the site indicate a construction date at the end of the 1st century. In the middle of the 6th century, the Alamanni settled here and cleared the forest, destroying the Roman settlement.
