Mesocco Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Mesocco, Switzerland.
The stone castle stands on a steep rock formation along the San Bernardino Pass route, displaying multiple towers and defensive walls across different levels.
Originally constructed before 1219, the castle served as the residence of the von Sax family until 1480, when General Giacomo Trivulzio acquired the property.
The fortress contains the Church of Santa Maria al Castello, which features mid-15th century frescoes created by artists from the Seregnesi workshop.
The castle ruins remain open throughout the year, allowing visitors to explore the medieval architecture and observe the surrounding Mesolcina Valley.
The castle's pentagon layout includes five towers, living quarters, armories, a foundry, and a bakery, demonstrating medieval military and residential functions.
