Mesocco has served as a settlement on the route over the San Bernardino Pass in Grisons since the Middle Ages. It occupies the upper Mesolcina Valley beside the Moesa, a valley whose Italian-speaking character sets it apart from much of the canton. Above the village rise the ruins of Mesocco Castle, a medieval stronghold associated with the lords of Sax-Misox and, later, the Trivulzio family. The pass route has long linked this southern Alpine valley with the Hinterrhein and northern Switzerland, while the surrounding slopes remain closely connected with mountain farming and walking routes.
