Old Town Description
In Bellinzona's Old Town there is an interesting former Franciscan church S. Maria della Grazie with magnificent wall paintings by the Lombard artists working in Ticino (16th C.), the Palazzo del Governo (1738-43, altered 1867-69). This part of Bellinzona retains its Lombard character with picturesque little streets, arcades, old doorways and wrought-iron balconies that inspired the English writer John Ruskin and the painter J. M. William Turner.
