Bellinzona
Walls of BellinzonaA first phase of construction in the 13th century was followed by the "Milanese" works in the 15th century, then by a restoration in the early 17th century and modifications in the 19th century. In the past, the walls joined the castle of Montebello to the east and the banks of the Ticino to the west, and were further reinforced in the 15th century with a bridge over the river and a tower against the mountain. An almost total lock on the valley!
