周辺の城・トップ13

The Visconti Citadel in Bergamo Alta is a quadrangular fortress built in the 14th century by Bernabò Visconti to consolidate his dominion over the territory and control the city. It housed the military garrison and tax collection offices, with spaces such as the Hospitium Magnum, now home to important civic museums. The citadel was a symbol of the Visconti family's power and served as a military garrison, integrating with other fortifications in the upper city.

It's a steep climb up here, no matter which direction you come from. Unfortunately, the gate is still locked early in the morning, and you can't get in.

Over the decades, in more recent times, the Visconti structure was also used as the site of an elementary school, but towards the end of the last century Castel Liteggio underwent a phenomenon of abandonment and degradation which continues to this day. In recent years, various proposals have been presented, by public and private bodies, for the recovery of the structure, however the lack of agreement between the interested parties has not allowed any restoration work to be started. The Castle, once considered an impregnable fortress, therefore seems definitively destined for ruin. Private property, after having repeatedly and in vain attempted an auction aimed at using the property as an accommodation facility / mini-apartment, has not demonstrated any intention to stop the increasingly rapid progress of structural degradation. Little or nothing remains of the village of Castel Liteggio and its inhabitants, who were its historical and cultural memory. The three farmhouses, which formed the backbone of the village, have completely changed their identity: Borghetto, after the restoration, became a B&B, Liteggio was rebuilt to house mini-apartments and a Relais, while little remains of the farmhouse in Via Fattoria, which collapsed in on itself in 2011. The remains of the latter and the small private church with tower and house, which stands in front of the Castle, have been put up for sale at auction.
