The journey
Discover Bergamo Alta on a walking tour that combines medieval history, architecture, and drawing. Starting from the funicular at Piazza Mercato delle Scarpe, you'll follow the old streets of the Upper City to the Rocca while learning about the signs and symbols left by the artisans and lords of the Serenissima. Along the way, you'll explore Piazza del Duomo di Sant'Alessandro and hear about its architectural structure, animal and floral symbolism, numerology, and sacred geometry. The experience also includes visits to Santa Maria Maggiore and the Colleoni Chapel.
