It is one of the most important towns on the plain south of Bergamo and lies at the center of a crossroads of roads and railroads that connect it to Bergamo, Milan, and other important cities in Lombardy.
Treviglio’s origins are very ancient: the village developed in the 10th and 11th centuries around the enclosed castle founded during the period of the barbarian invasions by the inhabitants of the three Roman villas Portoli, Pisgnano and Cusarola.
Historic stores and craft workshops enliven the historic center, and in the central square the protagonist is the Basilica of San Martino, an important church dedicated to the Saint of Tours.
In addition to housing important works of the Lombard Renaissance, it boasts the tallest bell tower in Lombardy.
Noble palaces of considerable artistic merit and richness, including Palazzo Silva, stand on Galliari Street, named after the famous artist brothers.
The Shrine of Our Lady of Tears, a pilgrimage destination, holds the sword and helmet of General Odet de Foix and numerous works by artists such as Molinari and Bernardino Butinone.
In Mentana Square is the Museo Civico, which houses paintings, drawings, sculptures and engravings from the 14th century to the present.
Bar Milano, a historic café par excellence, still retains its original early 20th century furnishings and Art Nouveau counter.
Treviglio has no shortage of natural areas where you can spend days in nature: the Roccolo Park and the Gera d’Adda Park.
