Mesocco - Castello (ancestral castle)

Below Mesocco the road passes under a crag crowned by the ruined Castello di Misox (748 m/2,453ft), the ancestral castle of the Counts Sax von Misox, which was purchased by the Trivulzi family of Milan in 1483, destroyed by the people of Grisons in 1526 and restored by Swiss students in 1922- 26 (magnificent view of the deep trough of the Val Mesocco).
