Architecture
Like in many other places in Ticino, there are interesting examples of architectural design, such as:
- The Albergo Möwenpick Benjamin and the motorway service area Bellinzona-Sud, on highway A2, designed by architects Bruno Reichlin and Fabio Reinhart in 1989-1990; all the rooms have view to the Ticino river; on the highway the architecture resembles an old castle.
