Fortress San Bernardino Mesolcina Calanca
Torre di Santa Maria, XIII sec.
Description
The medieval tower rises majestically with a height of 18 meters on the highest point of the rock and presents itself from the outside as a narrow, pointed pentagon. The tower was built in the northern French donjon style, which is still a rarity in Graubünden architecture. Access is through a raised opening 2 meters above the ground. A staircase, once crowned by battlements, leads up through the four residential floors of the building, offering panoramic views of the Mesolcina and the surrounding mountains. This imposing building is in direct line of sight with the towers of Boggian in Roveredo and Norantola in Cama, making it a strategic point.
