Tips from the Community
The rest of the "Old Town" doesn't need to be seen as it has too many architectural sins.

The Upper Gate provides access to and from the old town of Ilanz. It was built in the Middle Ages and was one of four gates providing access to the town. Today, two of these city gates still exist: the beautifully painted Upper Gate and the more modest Red Gate.

The structure was built in 1717, and two baroque spheres proclaim the Christmas message. In the center field are the coats of arms of the Three Leagues. Directly above the archway is the city's coat of arms. Other coats of arms include those of the Capols, Salis, Schmid von Grüneck, and the coats of arms of Zurich and Bern with the text: IN HONOREM POT. DOM ORUM TUGINORUM ET BERNATUM HOC GRATTUDINIS MONUMENTUMPOSUIT JOH. GAUD. SCHMIDIUS DE GRUEN. PRAET. TIR AO MDCCXVII., in gratitude for his help in renovating the gate in 1717. The paintings were restored in 1924 by Chr. Schmidt, Zurich.

The upper gate in the old town of Ilanz, also known as Porta Sura in Romansh, is richly decorated and painted. The ground floor, the actual entrance to the town, dates from 1513.

A wonderful gravel path leads you over Alp Sezner, while your gaze wanders over the beautiful landscape at an altitude of 2,000 meters. If you need a short break, you can look for a shady spot near the buildings along the way.
