Arriving in Bergamo<\/strong> by train is an enchanting experience from the very first glimpse. Stepping out of the station, the city reveals its beauty, with a visual line leading directly to Porta Nuova<\/strong>, the vibrant heart of Bergamo Bassa (Lower Town)<\/strong><\/a>. Looking up, you’ll be captivated by the unmistakable and majestic profile of the hills of Citt\u00e0 Alta (Upper Town)<\/strong><\/a>, an invitation to discover the wonders the city has to offer.<\/p>\n In 1837, a simple gate among the Muraine<\/strong><\/a>, the imposing 15th-century fortifications that protected the hills and extended to the plain, was replaced by an iron gate, creating a breach in the city walls: thus Porta Nuova<\/strong> was born. For a long time, this place represented the main entrance to the lively commercial and financial district of Bergamo<\/strong>. Even today, Porta Nuova<\/strong> is the central hub around which the main roads and most important monuments of the city extend.<\/p>\n","slides":[{"image":{"ID":1026,"id":1026,"title":"5a00935ee2d63e99f28662413e7bb9df_635a3b09","filename":"5a00935ee2d63e99f28662413e7bb9df_635a3b09.jpg","filesize":576317,"url":"https:\/\/visit.valueservice.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/5a00935ee2d63e99f28662413e7bb9df_635a3b09.jpg","link":"https:\/\/visit.valueservice.cloud\/en\/oggetto\/porta-nuova\/5a00935ee2d63e99f28662413e7bb9df_635a3b09-2\/","alt":"","author":"4","description":"","caption":"","name":"5a00935ee2d63e99f28662413e7bb9df_635a3b09-2","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":12167,"date":"2024-04-16

Nuova","hero_text":" Here is the ancient main entrance to the Lower Town, teeming with life and commerce, where two neoclassical buildings frame the view of the hills.<\/p>\n","indepth":" The Strada Ferdinandea<\/strong>, inaugurated in 1838 on the occasion of the visit of Austrian Emperor Ferdinand I, now known as Viale Vittorio Emanuele<\/strong>, together with Viale Roma and Viale Papa Giovanni XXIII, forms the main axis connecting Bergamo Bassa to Citt\u00e0 Alta<\/strong>. Originally, the road wound through open countryside, but soon became a vital urban artery, lined with elegant public and private buildings. Around this road and Porta Nuova<\/strong>, the modern city has developed, a blend of timeless beauty and industrial dynamism, punctuated by the rhythms of work, shopping and daily life.<\/p>\n From Porta Nuova<\/strong>, you can enjoy the most spectacular view of Citt\u00e0 Alta<\/strong>, the medieval village perched on the hill. The profile of historic buildings, bell towers, towers, domes and walls is revealed in all its richness and harmony. The architect Marcello Piacentini, who redesigned the city center behind Porta Nuova<\/strong> at the beginning of the 20th century, had the intuition to design buildings of a height that would not obstruct the breathtaking view of Citt\u00e0 Alta<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The twin neoclassical buildings that dominate Porta Nuova on both sides are called Propylaea<\/strong>, a term meaning “that which stands before the gate”. Until 1901, these buildings housed the customs guard, responsible for controlling the entry of goods into the city. An iron gate blocked the road and anyone wishing to enter Bergamo had to pay a tax on goods, just like in a modern customs office.<\/p>\n The Muraine<\/strong>, in addition to performing a defensive function, also served as a customs border. With the abolition of the customs tax, it was decided to demolish them, but precious testimonies remain in some corners of the city. One of these is the Galgario tower<\/strong><\/a>, a cylindrical structure with a truncated conical base that stands alone in the center of a busy avenue, recalling Bergamo’s past.<\/p>\n","filotto_items":false,"accessibilitycontent":{"tcm_content":[{"acf_fc_layout":"title","title_tag":"h3","title_text":"Data sheet"},{"acf_fc_layout":"text","text":""}]},"gallery":{"gallery_items":false},"iu_timetable":false,"poi_data":{"description":" Arriving in Bergamo<\/strong> by train is an enchanting experience from the very first glimpse.
