Bellinzona in French Bellinzone , in archaic German Bellenz ['belents] and Bilitio [bi'litsjo] in Latin) is the capital city of the canton Ticino in Switzerland. The city is famous for its three castles (Castelgrande, Montebello, Sasso Corbaro) that are UNESCO World Heritage Sites since 2000.

Bellinzona has always occupied an important geographic location in the Alps. Several key alpine passes, including the Nufenen, St. Gotthard, Lukmanier, San Bernardino and the Poebene, all meet in the area around Bellinzona making it a key trading center.
While the region has been occupied since the early Neolithic age it wasn’t until the late 1st Century BC that a fort was built in the area during the reign of the Roman Emperor Augustus. While the fort fell into disrepair in the following centuries, it was rebuilt and greatly expanded in the 4th Century AD. During the reign of Diocletian and Constantin a chain of castles and watchtowers were built to protect northern Italy from invasion. Bellinzona’s location was recognized as a key point in the defenses and a large castle was built to protect the walls. The town that grew up around the fortifications was known as Bilitio.

The Grenoble-Bastille Cable car (French: Téléphérique de Grenoble Bastille), also affectionately known as The bubbles (French: Les bulles), was inaugurated on 29 September 1934 in the city of Grenoble and is the first urban cable car in the world.

In 1934 cable cars were no longer an innovation. The cable car at the Aiguille du Midi had been in existence for ten years, the one at Salève for two; by that time Europe had a sizeable number. Even in Grenoble, a cable transportation system existed between Mount Jalla and the area of Porte de France since 1875, used to transport limestone from the quarries to the cement industry.

In Grenoble, the desire for openness and expansion of the city led to its mayor at the time, Paul Mistral, to successfully organize the Exposition internationale de la houille blanche (International exposition of white coal) in 1925, and subsequently to acquire land for the city’s future airport. In 1930 together with the vice-chairman of the chamber of tourism, Paul Michoud, he planned the world’s first urban cable car in the city.

The site of the Bastille overlooking the Grenoble area was naturally chosen to become a tourist attraction. The site, fortified a century earlier by General Haxo, had a natural promontory offering a 360° panoramic view.

The project took shape, and was unveiled by Paul Mistral at a city council meeting on 21 June 1930. However, Mistral did not live to see his dream come true, he died on 17 August 1932. It was his successor, Leon Martin, who inaugurated the prestigious innovation on 29 September 1934 in front of a tightly-packed crowd. That day, when a short tone sounded at around 15:45, cabins started carrying a procession of dignitaries, including the senators Joseph Vallier, Léon Perrier, and Joannès Ravanat, and the conseillers généraux Perrot and Didier into the sky. Two years later, the cable car had its true consecration when the president of the republic Albert Lebrun, visited the facility. Grenoble Bastille cable car webcam and webcam from France
