Bergamo Skyline and Old Town View

A City of Two Levels

Bergamo unfolds across two distinct worlds: the Città Alta, an ancient walled town perched on a hill, and the bustling Città Bassa spreading over the plain below. This vantage captures both, revealing how the medieval core and the modern city coexist within a single sweeping view.

Venetian Walls and Landmarks

The old town is encircled by the monumental Venetian Walls, a UNESCO World Heritage fortification that has guarded Bergamo for centuries. Watch for the Campanone civic tower and the domes and spires that punctuate the historic skyline.

A Lombard Landscape

Beyond the rooftops, the view opens toward the fertile plains of Lombardy and, on the horizon, the foothills of the Orobie Alps. The interplay of dense stone quarters, leafy gardens and distant ridgelines gives this panorama its timeless depth.

Living Heritage

Bergamo remains a vibrant Italian city where art, cuisine and tradition thrive. From this elevated perspective, the rhythm of the streets, the terracotta roofscape and the enduring silhouette of the Città Alta tell the story of a place proud of its past and alive in the present.
