Bellinzona - Fortress Town and Capital of Canton Ticino

Bellinzona has been a fortress town since Roman times. Guarded by three castles - Castelgrande, Castello di Montebello and Castello di Sasso Corbaro, it is strategically located at the entrance to the Ticino River valley, which leads north to the Gotthard Pass over the Alps.
In this video we explore parts of the old town, in particular the Palazzo Civic (town hall) with its ornate tower. Also explored are Castelgrande, the largest of the three castles, and Castello di Montebello. From both of these, magnificent views are to be had in all directions.
The day started out overcast and breezy, but later the sun came out.
