Location

Bergamo was founded on a hill by a first very old settlement in the protohistoric age, which gave it the configuration that still characterizes it: the oldest part of the town, enclosed within walls, lays up on the hill while
the modern centre has developed on the plain.

In Bergamo and its surroundings people can discover monuments and artistic objects of uncommon beauty, as well as important historical and cultural witnesses, hidden among hills, mountains, country landscapes, rivers and lakes.
