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.

San Bernardino Pass in the Canton of Ticino Swiss Alps Switzerland is a stunning picturesque area that looks right out of a travel magazine. We were on our way to Lake Como Italy on our grand tour of every country that borders the alps. It is worth a drive thru this area we prefer the winding mountain roads to a tunnel.
5. Chiesa di Santa Maria delle Grazie
6. Chiesa Collegiata dei SS Pietro e Stefano

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!
