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

After the big climb to get to this village, we were very happy to find a public drinking fountain to fill up our water bottles!

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.
