The three castles of Bellinzona - Montebello

The second castle! After walking all the way down from Castelgrande, and having a nice drink in the town square, we had to walk all the way up to Montebello, the second castle. Worth it, though ;)


Picture taken while walking down Castelgrande to the town centre. You can see a very nice church that we briefly visited in the foreground and behind that the second castle: Montebello. In the distance, on the hilltop, you can see the third and last castle: Sasso Corbaro.


The first thing you see when you enter the grounds of the castle is a nice field of grass (that will be nice in Summer!) and the main buildings of the castle.


Picture of the third castle Sasso Corbaro from the second castle. It is still pretty high up, even from this castle... Also: mountains.. :)


Me and N. with Castelgrande (the first one) in the background.


I will never tire of beautiful castle walls..


There is the mountain again! Still very pretty: also from this viewpoint!
