In the heart of Piazza Vecchia in Bergamo stands the Civic Tower, called the Campanone.
From its 52.76 meters in height it offers breathtaking panoramic views.
At the top of the tower, reachable on foot (230 steps) or more conveniently by elevator, is the largest bell in Lombardy.
Curiosities
Even today, every evening at 10 p.m., the Campanone strikes its evocative hundred chimes, a perennial reminder of the closing of the city gates along the walls during Venetian rule.
