Castello di Mesocco
The ruins of the Castello di Mesocco are located at 752 m above sea level on a mighty rock south of the village of Mesocco in Misox in the canton of Graubünden in Switzerland. Mesocco is one of the largest castle complexes in Switzerland and was the aristocratic center of the valley from the beginning of the 13th century until 1526. At the foot of the castle hill stands the Romanesque church of Santa Maria del Castello, also first mentioned in 1219.
The complex consists of four main parts: the outer castle in the northeast, the main castle on the rocky plateau, the inner castle "Rocca" within the main castle and the church of San Carpoforo.
