The routes through the Alps have always been of crucial strategic importance. In Bellinzona several pass routes come together within a small area – an ideal place to control transit traffic. The three Castles of Bellinzona, Castelgrande, Montebello and Sasso Corbaro together with their fortress walls were built in the Medieval Age and have since been both the northern border of the Plain of the Po and a southern bastion of the alpine valleys. This bolt once should have prevented the onrushing Swiss citizens from expanding southwards. But in 1503 Bellinzona chose to no longer to be subject of Milan and instead joined the Swiss Confederation so that in the following years the fortresses were used against the south and against Milan. Nowadays, the bulwark is the most important witness of the medieval art of fortifications in the alpine area. Since 2000 the three castles of Bellinzona have been an UNESCO World Heritage Site.
