Castelgrande Bellinzona

Highlight • Castle

The rock ridge of the Castelgrande consists of gneiss and rises almost 40 meters above the old town. On the north side, almost vertically sloping rock walls offer protection, on the south side, slightly less steep steps make access more difficult. At the top is a plateau divided into terraces with a diameter of 150 to 200 meters. The late medieval Bering rests for the most part on the Roman fort wall. The interior of the extensive castle area is largely empty, which is due to the removal of numerous buildings in the 15th century and the demolition of modern armory structures in the 20th century. In the Middle Ages, the area was divided into plots and densely built over.

San Martino Church, Soazza

Soazza is a jewel in the Misox with a wonderfully preserved village center. Away from the cantonal road, the terraced village guarantees a special degree of tranquility. The biggest attraction is undoubtedly the beautiful parish church of San Martino, which towers over the area on a rocky outcrop.
