One remarkable architectural creation is Chiostro di Santa Marta. Today in the building which used to be a monastery, you can see a beautiful inner courtyard, amazing arcades, figures of three nuns and a cardinal, and striking abundance of greenery. Another religious monument, Chiesa di Santo Spirito, is famous for its magnificent facade, the feeling of pacification that emits from it and an interior with frescoes and works of art – the painting of “Madonna and Child with Saint Catherine of Alexandria, Saint Augustine, Saint Sebastian and Saint Anthony” by Lorenzo Lotto and “San Giovanni Battista” by Andrea Previtali. The Cathedral was built in the 16th century. Another old church (built at the beginning of the 15th century) is Chiesa Di Santa Maria Immacolata delle Grazie. Here the interior is no way inferior to the unsurpassed exterior.

Convento Di San Francesco is one more building that was once a monastery at some point. The sanctuary was founded in the 13th century, but was used by Napoleon as a prison in the year 1797. The building then passed into the hands of the National Guard and became a school. Inside the building there are several beautiful frescoes that survived, there used to be much more of them previously. Heading towards the mountains, you should visit the observation deck, from where you can enjoy fascinating views. You will be further shocked to learn that entrance into the place is absolutely free. The most ancient place in Bergamo is perhaps the Tempietto di Santa Croce. This church was built in the Romanesque style in the year 1133. The building witnessed many events, and therefore, being right next to it, you will sense that unique feeling as if you could touch the history.
