In the shadow of the Campanone, the Palazzo del Podestà tells you a story that has distant origins: on the ground floor, immerse yourself in the Roman Bergamo of the archaeological excavations, and then go up to the second floor and admire the wonderful frescoes of the Renaissance cavern.
This is where the Museum of the 500 opens, a multimedia and interactive journey made of images, sounds and suggestions.
We invite you to take a journey back in time, among prestigious palaces and ancient convents, to discover the stories of noble families struggling for power, ambitious merchants in search of fortune, great condottieri in the service of the Republic of Venice.
Immersed in the life of the 16th century, you will witness the construction of the Walls, an indelible sign of Venetian domination, which today has become a UNESCO heritage site.
