Smit & Palarczyk > [SWITZER.TICINO 01294] 'Chinese wall?' In Bellinzona three strongholds nearly close the Ticino valley with their huge walls.

UNESCO added the complex to their list of World Heritage Sites. Photo Paul Smit.

Smit & Palarczyk > [SWITZER.TICINO 01322] 'Not a Roman bridge.' The famous 'Roman Bridge' near Lavertezzo in Valle Verzasca actually dates from the Middle Ages. For its own good it attracts too manytourists and people who like to sunbath and swim in the Verzasca below it. Photo Paul Smit.
Smit & Palarczyk > [SWITZER.TICINO 01350] 'Madonna del Sasso.' Pilgrimage church Madonna del Sasso is the symbol of Locarno. In the evening, when the floodlights switch on and a string of lights embraces the Lago Maggiore, the spot has lost nothing of its original charm. A historical cable train brings you up.

Smit & Palarczyk > [SWITZER.TICINO 01357] 'Ascona.' At the end of the sixties Ascona was for Switzerland what St. Tropez was for France. The creative of the world attracted the wealthy and nowhere in the world you saw more Lamborghinis and Rolls Royces. The money is still there, but got older. Where hip galleries used to be now you encounter expensive pharmacies. Photo Paul Smit.
Smit & Palarczyk > [SWITZER.MITTEL 00814] 'Rhine waterfall.' Europe's largest waterfall, the Rheinfall near Schaffhausen in Switzerland, thunders down through the evening light. Photo Paul Smit.
