Located at 230 m over the city of Bellinzona, Sasso Corbaro was built in 1479 by the Sforza family.
Â
Inside there’s an inner courtyard, where there’s an old chapel of St. Barbara.
From the courtyard you can get to the main tower, that hosts the Ficcanaso exposition, where you can smell more than 100 of flavours and is really interesting as it describes secrets and sensations related to our noses.
Â
From the main tower you get to the Watchtower
and there you can have a great sightseeing of the other two castles and Bellinzona too, the entire complex of the list of Unesco sites, best known as Three Castles, defesive walls and ramparts.
You can also see the old entrance, used in the 15th Century
If you go down towards the old entrance you can see the watchtower again ( this reminds me some Lego castles I got when I was child)
It was 17.30 and I had just 30 minutes to go to the largest of the three castles to visit: Castelgrande and the old medieval town of Bellizona. In this post you will find also the whole itinerary (map) of Bellinzona and the three castles.
