Montreux Palace and Ray Charles Statue

In the gardens of the Montreux Palace there are several statues of musicians, such as B.B. King, Santana, Aretha Franklin and Ray Charles, this last one shown in the postcard

I love these vintage posters. I almost began a collection, but there were so many in Switzerland that I decided to collect only the ones showing UNESCO sites, so they could fit in my other collection

This postcard was sent by Steffi


White Tower of Castelgrande, Bellinzona

This postcard I bought it where I used to live and it was my first postcard of one of the three castles of Bellinzona


Castelgrande, Bellinzona

On the way to Lugano we stopped a little in Bellinzona, where I bought this postcard

A lot later I found another view also where I used to live


Monte San Giorgio
