Not all tourists know that in Bergamo there is a very beautiful botanical garden named after Lorenzo Roth. The garden is quite small, it has a very beautiful design and a variety of interesting plants. Since the botanical garden is on the hill, a great view of the lower city opens during the tours. For visitors the garden is equipped with comfortable seating areas; many wooden benches can be found in the shades.Â
Not far from the old town hall is La Torre Civica tower, since it was built, it remains the tallest structure in the city. In the 16th century, after numerous reconstructions the tower height was already 57 meters, today at its top is equipped with an excellent observation deck. Visitors can climb it via a special elevator which was equipped a few years ago, or climb to the top of the tower via the steep steps.Â
Among the cultural institutions Bergamo Archaeological Museum is worth noting, its first exposition was formed back in 1561. During the first 200 years the collection of archaeological artefacts stored in the old town hall, and since then the museum changed its location several times. Since 1960, the museum is located in the palace of Visconti, which in itself is a valuable historical object.
