In the past Porta San Giacomo represented the entrance to the Upper Town for those arriving from Milan. This is the only access to the Walls that is perfectly visible from viale Vittorio Emanuele, the axis that crosses Bergamo Bassa from south to north. As with the other entrances to the city, the Lion of San Marco, symbol of Venetian domination, dominates this one as well. It is one of the most photographed places in Bergamo: leaning against the balustrade you will enjoy a beautiful view of the Venetian fortifications and of the Lower Town and of the plain up to the Apennines.

Actually the most beautiful access to Bergamo... you go over the paved path that stands on arches towards the gate

Gate of the Venetian walls, the most famous, since people from Bergamo who do not intend to use cars or public transport go up on foot from here: it is the shortest way to reach Colle Aperto. The walkway on the walls is more panoramic but much, much longer.
