Bergamo, Medieval hilltop town in Lombardy, Italy
The city divides into two sections: the ancient Upper City enclosed by 16th-century walls and the modern Lower City with contemporary buildings.
During Roman times in 49 BCE, Bergamo developed into a municipality before becoming a central location of the Lombard duchy from the 6th century.
The Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore, constructed in 1137, displays architectural elements from multiple centuries through its marble decorations and frescoed walls.
The funicular railway connects the Lower City with the Upper City, operating daily from early morning until midnight for residents and visitors.
During winter months, the temperature in Bergamo can drop to minus 15 degrees Celsius, while summer days reach up to 39 degrees Celsius.
