St. Gotthard Pass The Gotthard Pass divides waterways and connects various cultural and linguistic areas. Its significance as an "Alpine transversal" began at the beginning of the 13th century with the construction of the legendary Devil's Bridge in the Schöllenen Gorge. For many centuries, trade caravans (trading cattle and cheese for grain, wine, rice, and salt), mercenaries, messengers, and even entire armies crossed the pass. Between 1818 and 1836, the canton of Uri, with the help of other cantons, expanded the pass road, thus achieving its predominance among Swiss Alpine passes. The Gotthard Pass has significantly shaped the economy and culture of Central Switzerland for centuries. Until the opening of the Gotthard Railway in 1882, the Gotthard Pass was also used in winter. Dozens of roadmen and shovel workers were employed for this purpose. In 1922, the post bus replaced the stagecoach, and with the introduction of gasoline duties in 1923, the expansion of the pass roads began, continuing to this day. The old pass road on the south side, the Tremola between the top of the pass and Airolo, is still preserved and passable. This stretch of road recalls more tranquil journeys over the Gotthard that occurred not so long ago. In the 19th and 20th centuries, the Gotthard Pass was "condensed" into a myth, a symbol of Switzerland's independence, unity, and identity.

Η γεωγραφική θέση της Giornico, στους πρόποδες του φαραγγιού Biaschina και στην αρχή της κοιλάδας του Τιτσίνο, έχει καταστήσει για αιώνες αυτό το μέρος θεμελιώδες για τις δραστηριότητες που σχετίζονται με τη διέλευση κατά μήκος του δρόμου του Αγίου Γοτθάρδου. Μπροστά σας, χαμηλά, βρίσκονται οι δύο τοξωτές γέφυρες ή γέφυρες «ραχιαστήλι» που δίνουν πρόσβαση στο νησί στον ποταμό Τιτσίνο. Στη δεξιά πλευρά της Κοιλάδας ξεχωρίζουν: η ενοριακή εκκλησία του Αγίου Μιχαήλ, η εκκλησία του Αγίου Νικολάου (ή San Nicolao) και, στον λόφο, η εκκλησία της Αγίας Μαρίας του Κάστρο.

really a nice place to visit

How wonderful! Lake Maggiore with the Brissago Islands is an enchanting place. After a nice bike ride to the Sacro Monte, stop to enjoy the view of the islands and the crystal clear waters of the lake. The climb starts from via Gerusalemme (in front of the town hall), which leads to the baroque chapel of the Annunciata. You can reach the sanctuary by following the Via Crucis (chapels with works by Fra' Roberto Pasotti, 1999-2000) or by following the "mill path" in the valley (on foot). The two roads join towards the IX chapel, called "of the Jews", near the sanctuary. The building, comprising the church of the Addolorata and the house in a single complex (it was once the rector's palace) is in Baroque style.
