About Bergamo Città Alta
Bergamo's upper town, Città Alta, grew from a medieval hill settlement and became a center of civic and religious life under successive rulers. In the late sixteenth century, Venice encircled it with massive defensive walls to secure its western frontier. The Piazza Vecchia, anchored by the Palazzo della Ragione, served as the town's civic and political heart.
