Die Murata ( italienisch Mauer ) ist ein Teil der Befestigungsanlagen von Bellinzona,
dem Hauptort des Kantons Tessin in der Schweiz.
Zusammen mit dem C.astelgrande, dem C.astello di M.ontebello und dem C.astello
di S.asso C.orbaro gehört sie zum UNESCO - Welterbe der Burgen von Bellinzona.
Sie ist gleichzeitig ein Kulturgut von nationaler Bedeutung.
Dieses Hindernis schliesst sich westlich an das C.astelgrande an und folgt mit leichten
Richtungsänderungen dem Verlauf einer natürlichen Felsrippe. Seine Aufgabe war es,
die Talsohle zwischen der B.urg und dem F.luss T.icino zu sperren.
Die Murata besteht aus einer zinnenbewehrten Doppelmauer; dazwischen liegt ein über-
wölbter, mit Gras bewachsener Gang, der knapp zwei Meter breit und vier bis fünf Meter
hoch ist. Die Fundamente ruhen im östlichen Teil direkt auf dem Fels, im westlichen Teil
auf dem Geschiebe des T.icino.
Nach der gewonnenen Schlacht bei A.rbedo gegen die Eidgenossen im Jahr 1422 liessen
die V.isconti, die Herrscher des Herzogtums M.ailand, die Murata errichten, um auch den
bisher ungeschützten Teil des Tales zu sichern.
Gemäss einer Beschreibung von 1457 war sie rund 600 Meter lang, Zinnen besass sie je-
doch nur auf der Nordseite. 1478 gelang es den Eidgenossen vor der Schlacht bei
G.iornico, die Mauer zu durchbrechen; die nachfolgende Belagerung Bellinzonas scheiterte
aber. Daraufhin wurde die baufällige Murata abgerissen und 1486 - 1487 unter der Leitung
des Baumeisters Gabriele Ghiringhelli durch einen Neubau ersetzt.
Ein H.ochwasser des T.icino riss im Jahr 1515 rund 150 Meter der Murata weg, auf den
Wiederaufbau dieses Teilstücks verzichtete man. Die Torretta, ein mächtiger Turm am
rechten Ufer des Flusses, wurde um 1820 abgebrochen. Eine weitere Bresche entstand
1869 mit der Schleifung des T.orturms P.ortone; an dieser Stelle überbrückt heute eine
Passarelle auf der Höhe der Zinnen die Strasse.

A view to the southwest along the fortification walls of Assos showing the line of the enceinte as well as the scattered remains of the necropolis outside of the main gateway. The walls were constructed of carefully cut and fitted ashlar blocks during the 4th century BC. Originally, the fortification stretched for more than 3 km and featured towers from which to harangue attacking forces. The walls are very well-preserved, with some sections standing up to 14 m. in height.
Assos occupies the crest of a ridge and its adjoining plateau above the sea. The city was founded by immigrants from Lesbos early in the 1st millenium BC. During the 6th century it was ruled by Lydia and later by the Persians. Ariobazanus, the satrap of Assos, revolted against the Persians in 365 BC, but he was defeated by Artaxerxes. The settlement flourished in the 4th century , during which the Troad was ruled by Hermeias, a eunuch who was a student of Plato and who fostered a vibrant intellectual community in the city before being captured by the Persians and tortured to death. Assos declined in importance during the 4th century, being overshadowed by Alexandria Troas and was ruled by Pergamon from 241-133. The site was first excavated in the 19th c. by Americans, and is currently under investigation by Turkish scholars.
Assos (Greek: Άσσος), also known as Behramkale or for short Behram, is a small historically rich town in the Ayvacık district of the Çanakkale Province, Turkey. After leaving the Platonic Academy in Athens, Aristotle (joined by Xenocrates) went to Assos, where he was welcomed by King Hermias, and opened an Academy in this city. Aristotle also married Pythias, the adopted daughter of Hermias. In the Academy of Assos, Aristotle became a chief to a group of philosophers, and together with them, he made innovative observations on zoology and biology. When the Persians attacked Assos, King Hermias was caught and put to death. Aristotle fled to Macedonia, which was ruled by his friend King Philip II of Macedon. There, he tutored Philip's son, Alexander the Great.
Assos was also visited by St. Paul. Today, Assos is an Aegean-coast seaside retreat amid ancient ruins.

Ancient Assos.....The city was founded from 1000 to 900 BC by Aeolian colonists from Lesbos, who specifically are said to have come from Methymna. The settlers built a Doric Temple to Athena on top of the crag in 530 BC. From this temple Hermias of Atarneus, a student of Plato, ruled Assos, the Troad and Lesbos for a period of time, under which the city experienced its greatest prosperity. (Strangely, Hermias was actually the slave of the ruler of Atarneus.[4]) Under his rule, he encouraged philosophers to move to the city. As part of this, in 348 BC Aristotle came here and married King Hermeias's niece, Pythia, before leaving for Lesbos three years later in 345 BC. This 'golden period' of Assos ended several years later when the Persians arrived, and subsequently tortured Hermias to death. The Persians were driven out by Alexander the Great in 334 BC. Between 241 and 133 BC, the city was ruled by the Kings of Pergamon. However, in 133 BC, the Pergamons lost control of the city as it was absorbed by the Roman empire. St. Paul also visited the city during his third missionary journey through Asia Minor, which was between 53-57 AD, on his way to Lesbos. From this period onwards, Assos shrunk to a small village, as it has remained ever since. Ruins around Assos continue to be excavated. The pillars from the ancient port lay in the harbor for over a millennia. Eventually they were probably sold. In the early 1900s an attempt was made to move the contents of the Temple of Athena. Much of the art has been moved to museums like the Louvre.[4] The art found includes pictures both of mythical creatures and heraldic events.

Beautiful little place. The road down to the village from the main road is, er, interesting. The purple bougainvillea you can see near centre shot is much more obvious in the next pic :-)

From November till the end of February, the dry winds (called Harmattan by the locals) keep blowing out of Sahara to the Bight of Benin and Gulf of Guinea. The visibility is getting very poor and many helicopter flights are canceled.
