Castles of Bellinzona

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE : Check out this beautiful drone video of a UNESCO World Heritage site in southern Switzerland, compliments of contributor and pilot Kpax. The town is named Bellinzona, and it's the capital of the Canton of Ticino. Lying at the foot of the Alps, the town is famous for its three castles, which were actually fortresses: Castelgrande, Montebello, and Sasso Corbaro. The castles are testament to the area's strategic importance; its geographic location affords access both to the Po Valley in Italy as well as to key mountain passes.

The castles of Bellinzona are one of Ticino's main attractions and, with the old walls that are still standing, are the sole medieval military complex in the Alpine region. They became part of the UNESCO World Heritage in 2000.
