Fortini della Fame

Highlight • Historical Site

The Hunger forts are so called because they were built at the time when a severe famine had afflicted the Ticino valley, in the 19th century. They had defensive purposes.

Tower 3: Ala Pélera

Highlight • Historical Site

This cylindrical tower was built in 1853 and performed a dual function: it served as a defense against the Austrians and was a work place for the refugees who were under the command of Marshal Radetzky of Lombardy.

Tower 5 at Pian di Bur

Highlight • Monument

This tower is also part of the hunger forts. In 1943 it was sold by the Confederation to the Bellinzona electricity company, today it is now in a state of decay, but still interesting to visit.

Tower 4: Al Sass del Camósc

Highlight • Historical Site

This is perhaps the most panoramic tower of the hunger forts. From here, in fact, you have a splendid view that ranges from the Locarno area to the Riviera.
