Castle hill
Castelgrande rises on its rock directly above the old town, and the curve of its walls is clearly visible at the centre of the map.

The map
About this Bellinzona map poster
Bellinzona sits at a narrowing of the Ticino valley, the point where routes coming down from the Gotthard and San Bernardino passes meet on their way to Lake Maggiore and Italy. That position explains the whole map. Steep slopes close in on both sides, the River Ticino runs down the valley floor, and the town fills the gap between them.
The town is best known for its three castles, Castelgrande, Montebello and Sasso Corbaro, which together with their walls are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Castelgrande stands on a rocky hill right above the old town, and a long defensive wall once ran from it across the valley to the river. The historic centre, with its arcaded streets and squares, lies directly beneath.
A Bellinzona map poster shows how tightly the town is held by its landscape. Roads, railway and river run parallel down the valley, while the old streets bunch together at the foot of the castle hill. In black and white the effect is compact and strong, a small capital shaped entirely by geography and defence.

River Ticino
The river runs along the valley floor on the west side of town, followed closely by the main road and rail routes heading south.
Valley walls
Mountain slopes close in on both sides, so the street network forms a narrow band with Montebello and Sasso Corbaro on the hillside above.

Why Bellinzona
A map that means something
Bellinzona is a place people pass through, and a place they come back to. A map of its narrow valley and castle hill makes a good memento of a trip over the Alps, and a meaningful piece for anyone who lives in Ticino.
