"The Bellinzona site consists of a group of fortifications grouped around
the castle of Castelgrande, which stands on a rocky peak looking out
over the entire Ticino valley. Running from the castle, a series of
fortified walls protect the ancient town and block the passage through
the valley. A second castle (Montebello) forms an integral part of the
fortifications, while a third but separate castle (Sasso Corbaro) was
built on an isolated rocky promontory south-east of the other
fortifications." -http://whc.unesco.org
"This postcard shows the castelgrande,
one of the 3 castles of Bellinzona
and the tower is called Torre Bianca or White Tower", shares Oscar.
Thank you so much Oscar for adding this card in my collection! ^-^
