Показать описание

Bergamo is located in Lombardy, just northeast of Milan. The city has approximately 120.000 inhabitants and has a low-lying part (Bergamo Bassa) and a high-lying part (Bergamo Alta). Especially the high part is very worthwhile.
Bergamo’s location at the foothills of the alps between Milan and Venice would make it a strategic city for many years to come. During medieval times is when the city created some of its most notable architecture, including the walls that protect Bergamo Alta.

These impressive walls took 30 years to build, extend over 5 km in length, and reach up to 50 meters high at some points! They were initially constructed by the Venetians as a way to protect against attackers from Milan. That attack never came, but the walls still tower over the ancient city today.

In the following years, the city trended towards industrialism. Still, Bergamo Alta remains a jewel of Northern Italy for its historic churches and wonderful mountain views.
