Tips

The Castle of San Vigilio is the fortification located at the highest point on the Bergamo Hills.

From its 496 meters above sea level, it dominates the entire territory: from the city, to the valleys, to the plain. Only the summit of Monte Bastia is located higher, to be precise 22 meters at an altitude of 518 m above sea level.

Once out of the Scaletta dello Scorlazzone, take Via al Castello on the right, which guarantees an excellent overview of the Upper Town and the plain.

After a hundred meters there is the access to the Castle with the relative ladder which extends over a length of 302 meters, an elevation of 36 m divided into 161 steps.

Eventually you reach the top of this manor, directly accessing the upper square.
