Beautiful castle, overlooking the valley and mountains, some great photo-ops, and free of charge.

We’re really happy we made this stop. What a great panoramic view there is to behold here, on a bright day. I didn’t learn too much about the castle itself, but it is definitely worth a stop, for the view alone!

Beautiful place with the nice views on Sondrio. It can be reached from Castello Masegra.

Great place for a walk with a beautiful view all around the top. Come here on a clear day! The actual castle area is locked so make sure to double check opening hours before your visit. If you come when it’s closed, you can see enjoy nice views from the church down the street. There are plenty of free parking spots nearby.

Jan Hus Memorial

The Jan Hus Memorial stands at one end of Old Town Square. The huge monument depicts victorious Hussite warriors and Protestants who were forced into exile 200 years after Hus, and a young mother who symbolises national rebirth. The monument was so large that the sculptor designed and built his own villa and studio where the work could be carried out. It was unveiled in 1915 to commemorate the 500th anniversary of Jan Hus' martyrdom. The memorial was designed by Ladislav Šaloun and paid for solely by public donations.

Born in 1369, Hus became an influential religious thinker, philosopher, and reformer in Prague. He was a key predecessor to the Protestant movement of the sixteenth century. In his works he criticized religious moral decay of the Catholic Church. Accordingly, the Czech patriot Hus believed that mass should be given in the vernacular, or local language, rather than in Latin. He was inspired by the teachings of John Wycliffe.
