Bellinzona bildete früher die wichtigste Sperrfestung zwischen dem Gotthardpass und der Lombardei.
Sie wurde im Mittelalter errichtet, um den nördlichen Völkern den Zugang zum Tessiner Tal zu versperren und die Wegzölle Richtung St. Gotthard zu kontrollieren.
Bellinzonas beeindruckende Wehranlagen gehören seit dem Jahr 2000 zum UNESCO-Weltkulturerbe.
www.unesco-destination-schweiz.chTake a look behind the historic walls of Bellinzona, and discover the reason for these mighty fortifications : the town once represented the most important defensive line between the strategic Gotthard Pass and Lombardy.
The military structures were built to prevent peoples from the north reaching the Ticino valley, and to control tolls on traffic towards the Gotthard.
Bellinzona ’ s impressive castles and walls became UNESCO World Cultural Heritage in 2000.
