We present results from a combined radio, optical, and X-ray study of the jet-associated emission features in NGC1052. We analyse the radio-optical morphology and find a good positional correlation between the radio jet and the optical emission cone. Two optical emission knots are directly associated with radio counterparts exhibiting a radio to X-ray broadband spectrum not compatible with synchrotron emission. We discuss the possibility that the thermal soft spectrum of the extended X-ray emission originates from jet driven shocks produced in the interaction between the jet-plasma and its surrounding medium.
