• Piazza Mercato delle Scarpe - Begin your journey at Piazza Mercato delle Scarpe in Bergamo Alta. Simply open Ciceru nearby to start exploring this historic “shoe market” entrance, where the Upper Town has welcomed merchants, pilgrims, and modern-day funicular passengers for centuries.
• Rocca di Bergamo - Appreciate the fortress walls from the outside and let the view speak for itself, as this hilltop stronghold was constructed to quell local unrest as much as to deter distant foes.
• Torre del Gombito - Gaze up at the imposing medieval tower that once treated this intersection like a surveillance post, transforming an ordinary street corner into Bergamo’s stone-faced “point zero.”
• Lavatoio di Citta Alta - Stop by the elegant iron roof and marble basins, an outdoor tribute to the days when doing laundry meant public labor, lively gossip, and community survival.
• Piazza Vecchia - Stand in the city’s living room and absorb the perfectly arranged Renaissance scene, where fountains whisper and every façade seems aware of being photographed.
• Palazzo Della Ragione - Observe the grand arches and loggia from the square and envision medieval justice taking place in public, with Venice’s winged lion still overseeing the entire operation.
• Bergamo Cathedral - Admire the cathedral’s neoclassical exterior and remember it exists because Venice literally demolished the old one, demonstrating that military logistics can surpass holiness.
• Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore - Walk around the basilica to discover the lion-guarded portals and the carved measuring marks, as this “church of the people” also served as Bergamo’s official ruler.
• Cappella Colleoni - Examine the jewel box façade from the piazza, as this is what happens when a mercenary believes his ego deserves its own marble masterpiece.
• Via Bartolomeo Colleoni - Wander along the narrow main artery of the Upper Town where shutters, shopfronts, and stone walls keep the city’s daily theatre alive at street level.
