This is a really beautiful medieval castle which was built in the 13th century. Loved the long stretch of walls lining the rocky hill as well as the views of the township and other castles around it. Great views.

We were looking for a nice place to go in Switzerland that will only be a few hours travel from Como and this popped up in our search. It only took us almost 2.5 hour to reach the Castle and it did not dissapoint. IThe place was beautiful and it has a perfect view of the other castles surrounding it.

We took train from Lugano to Bellinzona and walked all around this wonderful town. It was a Saturday and therefore market day!Perfect! Walked into this beautiful church! So much to look at and admire! The organist was playing while we toured each of the side chapels and main alter area. Bring binoculars to really appreciate all the details!
