Civil wedding ceremonies. Civil register offices.

It is possible to have a civil wedding in Ticino, in the marriage halls appointed by the civil register offices. Unfortunately, it is not allowed by law to civilly wed outdoor. However, Ticino offers very charming town halls and other special locations. Following is a list of the civil register offices and their most beautiful marriage halls.

Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie.Bellinzona

This church dates back to the end of the 15th century and first mention is made of it in records of 1480. The interior is divided by a huge transverse wall in the tradition of the Franciscan Order, and is decorated with some magnificent frescoes. On the dividing wall, there is a Renaissance fresco of the Crucifixion surrounded by fifteen scenes de-picting the life of Christ. Unfortunately, the painter is unknown but it is most probably the work of an artist from Lombardy, dating from the period between 1495 and 1505.

Sacred Mountain Madonna del Sasso. Locarno

The Sacred Mountain Madonna del Sasso in Orselina, is one of the most important reli-gious and historical sites in Ticino. Tradition says that Fra’ Bartolomeo, a Franciscan friar of the convent of Locarno, wanted to build a place of worship on the “rock “ of Locarno as a result of an apparition of the Virgin Mary. Today it consists of the Church of the Annuncia-tion at the foot of the mount, the Via Crucis and the Sanctuary of the Madonna del Sasso. The Sacred Mountain is a wealth of art, history and spirituality.

Church Santa Maria degli Angioli. Lugano

The church, which was originally part of a Franciscan monastery, is home to Switzer-land’s most famous Renaissance fresco. The “Passion and and Crucifixion of Christ”, which covers the whole wall of the nave, is defined by great expressiveness and vivid-ness of the individual scenes. The church is located on Piazza Bernardino Luini, next to the majestic cultural centre LAC Lugano Arte e Cultura, at the end of Via Nassa, the city’s elegant shopping boulevard.

Churches and sacred places for religious ceremonies.From small Romanic churches to gracious sanctuaries that since centuries are pil-grimage sites, in Ticino you can find a multitude of sacred buildings that can give the perfect atmosphere to your religious wedding. Choose a small architectural pearl located in one of the magic valleys, a majestic church in the picturesque city centres of Ticino’s beating hearts, or a peaceful sanctuary from which you can tou-ch the sky with your fingers, enjoying a wonderful view on the region’s beauties.

Chapel of Santa Maria degli Angeli. Rivera, Monte Tamaro

The chapel of Santa Maria degli Angeli is at 1,567 m above sea level near Alpe Foppa, just two steps from the cable car stop. Set on a belvedere, the chapel looks over the whole plain of Magadino, as far as the entrance to the Mesolcina, Lugano and valleys, and as far as the imposing peaks of the Alps. It was designed by the architect Mario Botta at the request of Egidio Cattaneo, and built between 1992 and 1994. The interior has been decorated by Enzo Cucchi and the completed work was consecrated on the 1st of Sep-tember 1996.

Church of San Nicolao. Giornico

The Church of San Nicolao is one of the most impressive and atmospheric of Ticino’s many Romanesque churches. Its external walls are decorated with Lombardic designs, while inside is a fresco-decorated choir placed above a beautiful triple-apsed half-sun-ken crypt. The church is located in Giornico, a village on the road to the Gotthard Pass, that has lived through many important historic moments, as can be deduced from the scenic layout of the area; the river flowing through the territory splits into two branches forming an island running through the middle of the town.

Church of San Giovanni Battista. Maggia Valley, Mogno

The church of San Giovanni Battista is located in the heart of Mogno. Built between 1992 and 1996, it was designed by Mario Botta and rises on the remains of the original 15th century church, destroyed by an avalanche. The contemporary building stands out among the traditional houses of the village because of its cylindrical shape cut in a dia-gonal and for the decorative use of stone. The force conveyed by the walls of the church are nicely balanced by the lightness of the glass cover.

Church Collegiata dei Santi Pietro e Stefano. Bellinzona

This Renaissance church is located in the town centre of Bellinzona, on the picturesque Piazza Collegiata, that impresses the visitor with its genuine beauty. The church is the work of Master Tomaso Rodari of Maroggia, the sculptor who also designed Como Cathedral. The white stone for the facade came from quarries in Castione; the portal is surmounted by the town’s crest and is flanked by two smaller doors in 15th century style. The indoors of the religious building are decorated by beautiful frescoes.

Church of San Gottardo. Intragna

The parish church of San Gottardo in Intragna is one of the most famous sights in Ticino with the highest bell tower of the canton (65 meters). Renovated in 1722, the church has conserved its Baroque high altar and an elegant Rococo balustrade with an impressive illusionistic fresco by G. A. Caldelli in the background.

Church of Santa Croce. Riva San Vitale

Overlooking Riva San Vitale from its elevated position on the town’s north side, the church of Santa Croce is one of the most important religious buildings in Switzerland. This central-plan Catholic church with its three chapels was commissioned by the noble Della Croce family and built in the late 16th century. Inside, you can admire fascinating frescoes of biblical scenes such as the Finding of the True Cross, the Assumption of the Virgin Mary and the Sermon of Saint Bernardino.

Church of Santi Giacomo e Cristoforo. Bosco Gurin

According to recent research, this is the first church of the highest village in Ticino. De-dicated to Saint James and Saint Christopher, the church was consecrated in 1253 and built across from the present-day village, which is also the site of the first settlement of Bosco Gurin. According to existing documents, the church was most probably rebuilt on the promontory where it now stands in the late 15th century, following its destruction by an avalanche.

Church of Santa Maria del Sasso. Morcote

On the outskirts of this old town first mentioned in the 10th century, climb the monumen-tal 400 step staircase to enjoy the rewarding panoramic terrace of the parish Church of Santa Maria del Sasso. Although this church probably dates back to the 13th century, it was rebuilt in 1462, and its orientation was also later changed in 1758. Its belfry of late Roman style was built in the 16th century.

Castelgrande.Bellinzona, UNESCO World Heritage Site

Castelgrande, also called Castello di San Michele, Uri or Castel Vecchio, dominates the old town of Bellinzona. It’s the most ancient of the three castles and rises on pre-existing foundations, that probably belong to the Roman period. Built in the 13th century, the large fortified wall is divided in three sectors: the court, the western exterior wall and the eastern exterior wall. The peripheral part of the castle has some rather low walls, cove-red with closed battlements and crossed by a large passageway.

Castle of Morcote.Morcote

The Castle of Morcote, a little pearl of the pre-Alps, is situated among bright woods with terraces of vineyards, olive trees and typical Mediterranean flora, and lies between two characteristic villages of the region: Morcote and Carona. This property offers its visitors many opportunities from the simple beauty of the countryside to peaceful walks amidst nature, agriculture and typical villages. Refreshment breaks, lunch and dinner are served in the recently renovated Vicania restaurant (capacity for groups up to 100 people), which has maintained the typical Ticinese charm of a farm.

Centro Dannemann.Brissago

The Centro Dannemann of Brissago is a modern and versatile event location in a tradi-tional cigar factory on the shores of Lake Maggiore, in the sunny southern part of Swit-zerland. Impressive rooms with extraordinary lake views, the romantic Grotto at the old port, modern meeting rooms, a multi-media auditorium and two beautiful palm gardens directly on the lake, make it one of the best locations for weddings in Ticino.
