Bellinzona enjoys a strategic position in a steep valley on the edge of the Gotthard, San Bernardino and Lukmanier Alpine passes. The town is both a gateway to Italy from the north and a gateway to the Alps from the south. The capital of the canton and seat of the Ticino government and parliament, the city has a population of 18,000 and is a major tourist attraction. Bellinzona's castles and their walls, vestiges of the military architecture of the Alpine arc in the Middle Ages, have been on Unesco's list of world cultural heritage sites since 2000, as they are the most impressive in Switzerland. The old town is also renowned for its beautiful collegiate church of Santi Pietro e Stefano and other beautiful sites such as the piazza Nosetto and its arcades.
