아자노 산 파올로‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪16‬개의 동굴

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.

It is difficult to call it a castle, it is simply a shaded 360° panoramic terrace. In addition to this, it allows a small tour of the lower part where you can see the gardens, a fountain and the tower. Public toilets are available. A nice stop between the hills and the upper city...

Castle at the top of Bergamo Alta, beautiful and panoramic

Interesting: it's a shame it's in a state of total abandonment

From the San Vigilio funicular exit, continue on the right, in a few minutes you will reach the gate of the castle park. Enter, go up the stairs inside the tower. At the top you can enjoy the 360° view of the whole of Bergamo in the shade of large trees.

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.
