The lowest and earliest Grande Castle
Grande Castle is the lowest and earliest one.Experts believe that the prototype of fortifications existed on Mount Saint Michel before BC.
It is said that Grande Castle was built in the 13th century when the St. Gotha Pass was opened. In the 15th century, Milan fought fiercely against Como. Grande Castle was born with the times and expanded grandly. It is famous in European military history.However, according to written records, its architectural predecessor has already appeared in the 6th century. From the perspective of excavated objects, its history can be traced back to the 4th century or so.Today, each ancient castle has its own archaeology, history museum and art gallery.On the streets of the old city with stone steps and roads left behind by ancient buildings, there will be a market every Saturday, which is said to imitate the medieval scene.
Sasso Colbalo Castle
Sasso Colbalo Castle is an independent castle, and it is also the highest and smallest castle in Bellinzona Castle. Because it is an independent defense system, it will be built on all sides like a cliff.
As you enter the castle, you will first find an inner court, overlooking the colorful city in the valley from east to west.To the east of the inner court is the main body of the castle. It is stable in all directions, square and upright, with a length of 25 meters and a width of 25 meters respectively. In the southwest corner, there is a lookout tower, which can be reached from the top of the wall. In the northeast corner, there is also a closed tower, which has four floors above and below. It is powerful and powerful, and integrates with the most vulnerable east wall.In the castle, all the buildings are covered with stone flakes. It is difficult for guns to enter. The wall is also very wide and thick. The east wall is 1.8 metersOne meter is enough to defend against enemies on all sides.Under the eaves, there are living areas, fireplaces, toilets, kitchens and churches. Although sparrows are small, they have all five internal organs.It is a pity that such a fortress, which is almost self entrenched, was struck repeatedly by lightning for centuries, and finally fell to the ground a hundred years ago.What we see today is really a work of remolding, and a large amount of archaeological information has been lost in the Yanhai.[3]
