Church adjacent to Malpaga Castle, located in a fantastic location

The Castle with a square plan and a central courtyard was enlarged in volume and enriched with porticoes and loggias. Protected by two circles of walls raised compared to the original ones, it was surrounded by a second moat with access from the south and north via drawbridges. The entire complex thus became an inaccessible citadel, where brilliant court life was entertained, a destination for artists and illustrious guests. Much of the decorative and pictorial apparatus also dates back to the works commissioned by Colleoni, with a prevalence of frescoes in the French style, because the leader loved to surround himself with painters from Burgundy, linked to international Gothic.

Malpaga Castle presents itself with a majestic appearance in the countryside of the surrounding low Bergamo plain. This manor, due to the historical events and the remarkable architectural interest, is certainly a place of particular charm. Its relevance is linked above all to one of the most important figures of the fifteenth century: the leader Bartolomeo Colleoni, captain general of all the militias of the Serenissima Republic of Venice. Bartolomeo Colleoni bought it to transform it into his main residence, as it was located in a strategic position on the border between the territories of the Venetian Republic and the Duchy of Milan.
