Mendrisio, Protected heritage town in Ticino, Switzerland
Mendrisio extends across 32 square kilometers of land at an elevation of 354 meters in the Italian-speaking region of Switzerland.
The municipality's records date back to 793, with archaeological findings including Roman coins, tombs, and a villa from ancient settlements.
The town maintains the tradition of a Good Friday procession recognized by UNESCO and celebrates the Sagra dell'uva grape festival in September.
The Accademia di Architettura of the University of Italian-speaking Switzerland provides higher education opportunities for architecture students.
Multiple former municipalities merged with Mendrisio in 2009, including Arzo, Capolago, Genestrerio, Rancate, and Tremona, expanding its territory substantially.
