Porta San Giacomo represented in the past the entrance to Citt\u00e0 Alta for those arriving from Milan.
\nIt is the only access to the Walls that is perfectly visible from Viale Vittorio Emanuele, the axis that crosses Lower Bergamo from south to north, both because of its location and its color.
\nThe white marble with which it is built, quarried from the Zandobbio quarries in nearby Val Cavallina, makes it stand out from the gray stone of the defensive walls.
\nBecause of these characteristics, in addition to being one of the most photographed places in Bergamo, it makes a perfect backdrop against which to project colored lights during special events (for example, the tricolor of the Italian flag during celebrations related to national anniversaries).
\nLeaning on the balustrade you will enjoy, on the one hand, a beautiful view of the Venetian fortifications and, on the other, a splendid panorama of the Lower City and the plain all the way to the Apennines!
