San Pancrazio, Medieval Catholic church in Città Alta, Italy
San Pancrazio is a church in the Upper Town featuring a single nave with five side chapels. The interior space is defined by paintings and decorative elements that give the church its character.
This building is documented from 888 and served as a parish church for centuries in the community's life. In 1805, its role changed when it came under the administration of Sant'Alessandro Cathedral.
The interior holds paintings by local artists Cavagna and Salmeggia, reflecting the religious life of Bergamo. These works allow visitors to see how regional artists expressed faith and community through their craft.
The entrance is easy to access with no high step at the door. The building is located near the funicular station that connects to the Upper Town, making visits straightforward.
A Renaissance fountain in front of the church was commissioned in 1549 by Leonardo Isabello. Many visitors overlook this fountain, even though it is a notable feature of the square before the entrance.
