Castelgrande - Bellinzona

Es war wunderschön, wir sind zum La Spada nella Rocca dort gewesen. Der Eintritt kostet normalerweise 5 Franken pro Person (Wenn kein Fest dort ist)...

Very nice GA trip, Werner knew how to guide us, aperitif, market, delicious lunch, visit the castle

A whole day to tour the three spectacular castles.

Very beautiful, especially the walk along the walls

It is no wonder that this complex was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. This example of an Alpine fortress is not only picturesque like few others, but it illustrates a lifestyle and an era in an exemplary way. The three castles are of rare beauty and are very well restored. The wall joins two of them and is articulated with the city, offering a unique walk from a privileged point of view. As if something were missing, the natural landscape that surrounds Bellinzona, especially if it is crowned with snow, provides a perfect background for contemplating the monuments. I have not given the maximum score while waiting for the two castles closed for repairs to reopen.
