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!
