A hill just a bit higher in altitude compared to Città Alta and for that reason it offers great views over the town and on the valleys around it, such as the Astino valley.
Probably the most important hill around Bergamo and part of the "Parco dei colli" a natural park created to preserve nature and history around the old town.

Hiking

The Castle of San Vigilio is located 496 meters above sea level on the hill that gives it its name, overlooking the Upper Town, which is why in the past it played a strategic role in the event of enemy attacks.
From its summit, in fact, you can see the nearby Mount Bastia and the underlying villages of the ancient Val Breno (today called Valbrembo and Paladina), the esplanade of Almenno, known as Lemine, once an area of great commercial importance, and the villages located along the road that leads to the entrance of the Val Brembana.
