A clearly visible symbol of power, the Castle of San Vigilio was for centuries the residence of the various rulers who succeeded one another in Bergamo.

Located at 496 meters above sea level on the hill that gives it its name, it overlooks the Upper Town, which is why in the past it performed a strategic function in the event of enemy attacks. In fact, from its top you can see the nearby Mount Bastia and the underlying villages of the ancient Val Breno.
