Venetian Walls of Bergamo

The Venetian walls of Bergamo is a stunning architectural construction that dates back to the XVI century. The upper part of the town of Bergamo was attacked by Spanish troops. The economic effort to restructure the city following this was huge, leading to the removal of a third of the houses, and the Monastery of San Domenico. There were four entrances to the city, positioned along 6 km of walls (San Giacomo, Sant'Alessandro, Sant'Agostino and San Lorenzo).
