One day in Bergamo alta from Milan

Bergamo is a jewel of medieval architecture preserved to this day. It can be reached very easily from Milan by train. Piazza Vecchia is the symbol of the city of Bergamo. It was built in the 1300s and obtained its present structure during the Venetian rule. The Palazzo della Ragione faces the south side of the square. It symbolizes the communal age; on the right side stands the Civic Tower (12th-15th), known as Il Campanone, and the ancient Domus Suardorum (14th-15th), now home to the University of Bergamo.
The north side of the square is enclosed within a palace. It was built in the 1600s with a white marble facade. Built as the Town Hall, today this structure houses the "A. Maj" Municipal Library holds about 500, 000 volumes and preserves a valuable "Tasso Fund." The elegant Fountain, donated by the Venetian podestà Alvise Contarini (18th), completes the spectacular view of the square.
