In the heart of Piazza Vecchia<\/strong><\/a> in Bergamo<\/strong> stands majestically the Civic Tower<\/strong>, known to the people of Bergamo as the Campanone <\/strong>(or Campan\u00f9<\/em><\/strong> in dialect). This historic monument is one of the city’s most fascinating attractions, with its 52.76 meters height<\/strong> and unparalleled panoramic views of<\/strong> the city and the Orobian Pre-Alps.<\/p>\n If you are looking for an authentic experience among history, tradition and breathtaking views, the Civic Tower of Bergamo<\/strong> is a must-see!<\/p>\n The Civic Tower<\/strong> boasts a history dating back thousands of years. Built between the 11th and 12th centuries by the powerful Suardi family<\/strong>, it originally served as a tower house. In the 14th century it was transformed into a hospice for the municipal rectors and, in time, also became the site of the city jails. During the Middle Ages, noble families competed in building taller and taller towers, a symbol of prestige and power.<\/p>\n In the 14th century, the municipality of Bergamo purchased the tower and equipped it with a bell system to mark time and alert the population in case of emergency. Prominent among these is the Campanone<\/strong>, the largest bell in Lombardy, blessed in 1656 and the protagonist of one of the city’s most heartfelt traditions.<\/p>\n Every night at 10 p.m., the Campanone rings one hundred chimes<\/strong>, keeping alive a tradition that dates back to the time of the Republic of Venice. This evocative ritual is loved by residents and visitors alike, adding a magical touch to Bergamo nights.<\/p>\n","indepth":" Visiting the Campanone<\/strong> is an accessible experience for everyone. You can climb to the top by walking up the 230 steps<\/strong> or opt for a convenient elevator<\/strong>. Once at the top, you will find the largest bell in Lombardy<\/strong>, a true masterpiece that weighs over 6 tons.<\/strong><\/p>\n Originally 37 meters high, the Civic Tower<\/strong> has undergone extensions over the centuries to reach its current height of 56 meters, making it the tallest tower in the city<\/strong>. From the top there are spectacular views of Upper and Lower Bergamo<\/strong>, the surrounding plain and the Orobian Pre-Alps.<\/p>\n The Civic Tower<\/strong> houses a concert of three bells<\/strong>, each with a unique history and characteristics.<\/p>\n The largest and most famous is the Campanone<\/strong>, cast in 1656 by Veronese master Bartolomeo Pisenti. With a diameter of 2.07 meters and a weight of about 5,580 kg, this bell is embellished with Latin inscriptions celebrating happy and sacred events. The Campanone is well known for its hundred evening chimes,<\/strong> commemorating the closing of the city gates during the Venetian era.<\/p>\n All of the bells in the Civic Tower are now equipped with electrified systems that allow for momentum ringing and the use of electro-beating, thus ensuring the continuity of the city’s sound traditions.<\/p>\n From the top of the tower there is a spectacular view of Upper Bergamo<\/strong> and its historic walls<\/strong><\/a>. The view sweeps to the surrounding mountains and offers a unique glimpse of the city’s architectural beauty.<\/p>\n","howtogetthere":"","price":" ENTRANCE TO CAMPANONE + PALAZZO DEL PODEST\u00c0<\/p>\n Full 5\u20ac<\/strong> Reduced 1\u20ac<\/strong> children and young people from 11 to 17 years old<\/p>\n Free ticket:<\/strong> children from 0 to 10 years old, disabled people, ICOM members, journalists, qualified guides, Abbonamento Musei Lombardia<\/p>\n","time":" Tue-Fri<\/strong> | 10 a.m.-6 p.m. <\/strong> Dec. <\/strong> 8, Dec. 26 & Jan. 6 <\/strong>| 10 a.m.-7 p.m.<\/strong> Closed Mondays, Dec. 25<\/p>\n","latitude":"45.704278","longitude":"9.663136","id_visit_manza":"74","iu_motor_accessibility":"yes","iu_visual_accessibility":"notsure","iu_auditory_accessibility":"notsure","iu_cognitive_accessibility":"notsure","iu_kids":true,"iu_shortprice":"\u20ac1 - \u20ac5","iu_addr_streetnumber":"Old Square","iu_addr_postalcode":"24129","iu_addr_city":"Bergamo","iu_addr_province":"Bergamo","iu_phone":"+39 035247116","iu_cell":"","iu_website":"http:\/\/www.museodellestorie.bergamo.it","iu_email":"info@museodellestorie.bergamo.it","iu_document_label":"","iu_document":false,"iu_timetable":[{"day":{"value":"monday","label":"Luned\u00ec"},"open":false,"time":false},{"day":{"value":"tuesday","label":"Marted\u00ec"},"open":true,"time":[{"opening":"10:00 am","closing":"6:00 pm"}]},{"day":{"value":"wednesday","label":"Mercoled\u00ec"},"open":true,"time":[{"opening":"10:00 am","closing":"6:00 pm"}]},{"day":{"value":"thursday","label":"Gioved\u00ec"},"open":true,"time":[{"opening":"10:00 am","closing":"6:00 pm"}]},{"day":{"value":"friday","label":"Venerd\u00ec"},"open":true,"time":[{"opening":"10:00 am","closing":"6:00 pm"}]},{"day":{"value":"saturday","label":"Sabato"},"open":true,"time":[{"opening":"10:00 am","closing":"7:00 pm"}]},{"day":{"value":"sunday","label":"Domenica"},"open":true,"time":[{"opening":"10:00 am","closing":"7:00 pm"}]}]},"size":"full","featured_video":false,"filotto_sub":"","or_filter":false,"only_ambassadors":false,"max_elements":"0","show_total":false,"see_all":false,"order_by":"","order_way":"","filotto_fill_conditions":{"or_filter":false,"only_ambassadors":false,"max_elements":"0","show_total":false,"see_all":false,"custom_show_all_page":null,"order_by":"","order_way":""},"iu_document_label":"","modules":false,"is_an_ambassador":false,"description":"Why Visit the Civic Tower of Bergamo?<\/h3>\n
