Castelgrande and Historic Center

Capital of Ticino, Bellinzona, with its medieval atmosphere is the most evocative town in Italian Switzerland. Castelgrande is the most imposing of its three famous castles, a UNESCO site, and stands majestically above the beauties of the historic center. Witness to centuries of history written by the Romans, Lombards, Milanese and Swiss, it will reveal the reasons for its importance. We descend into the intimate heart of Bellinzona, in its lively squares where, among elegant patrician buildings, we find the only Italian-style theater in Ticino, a neoclassical jewel built on the model of La Scala in Milan. The Collegiate Church, an eclectic explosion of artistic and architectural styles, houses the second oldest pipe organ in Switzerland. Tour also suitable for families with children from 6 years old.
