Bergamo is an important representation of the very rich cultural and historical heritage of Lombardy. It is the ideal place for those who want to immerse themselves among palaces and works of art from other times in the name of local history.
There are spectacular places to visit in Bergamo, among which: the Accademia Carrara, considered one of the most important art galleries italian, is located inside the homonymous building. There are beautiful paintings by the Bergamo, Venetian and Lombard schools; the Museum of Modern Art; the Fortress, from the 14th century; the Park of Remembrances and the Museum of the Risorgimento and the Resistance; and the historic center of the city.
For all those who seek spiritual consolation, there are beautiful churches to see: S. Alessandro della Croce; San Bernardino in Pignolo; the church of San Benedict; Colleoni Chapel (Renaissance); the Church of San Michele al Pozzo Bianco (VIII century) and the Cathedral (of likely Lombard age).
Come and don't forget to taste the delicious local cuisine, especially Bergamo polenta.
