884 CH - Three Castles, Defensive Wall and Ramparts of the Market-Town of Bellinzona (2000)

Brief Description

"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."

贝林佐纳三座要塞及防卫墙和集镇

"贝林佐纳遗址由堡垒群组成的,这些堡垒围绕着卡斯特尔格朗德城堡,该城堡坐落在一座石峰上,俯瞰整个提契诺谷。一排排防御 墙从城堡中延伸出来,保护了古镇并阻隔了穿越山谷的通道。第二座城堡(蒙特贝罗城堡)与堡垒连为一体,而第三座(萨索·科尔巴洛城堡)则是一座独立的城 堡,矗立在其他堡垒东南方向一块孤立的岩石海角上。"
