Bellinzona is the capital of the canton Ticino in Switzerland. The city is famous for its three castles (Castelgrande, Montebello, Sasso Corbaro) that have been UNESCO World Heritage Sites since 2000. “Castelgrande” has been known as “the stronghold” (before the 13th century), “the Old Castle” in the 14–15th centuries, “Un Castle” after 1506 and “Saint Michael’s Castle” from 1818. The castle can be reached by taking an elevator from the foot of the rock to the castle grounds or by climbing steep, narrow streets from the city center through the city wall onto the castle grounds (Wikipedia).
