Introduction to Montebello Castle: After the completion of the Grande Castle, the local nobles who owned the castle at the time built a second castle on another 90-meter-high hill, which is the Castel that can be seen now. Castello di Montebello is located on the mountainside behind the Collegaita Church. It can be reached by walking for about ten minutes from the path next to the church.
Compared with the masculinity of Grande Castle, Montebello Castle has a fairy tale atmosphere. The suspension bridge on the ancient city gate, the official road on the city wall and the wide garden are the best places to appreciate the romantic scenery of Bellinzona. , the castle's drawbridge-style gates, traditional houses, drinkable clear mountain springs and some dark cellars have completely preserved some medieval landscapes. On a clear day, you can also overlook Lake Maggiore (Lago Maggiore) from the city walls.
