🎧 Listen to Introduction
The site of Bellinzona consists of a group of fortifications surrounding the Castelgrande Castle, which stands on a rocky peak overlooking the entire Ticino Valley. A series of defensive walls extending from the castle protected the ancient town and blocked access through the valley. A second castle (Montebello) was an integral part of the fortifications, while a third, independent castle (Sasso Corbaro) was built on an isolated rocky promontory southeast of the other fortifications.
