The Città Alta, or Upper Town, is the historic core of Bergamo, Italy, perched atop a hill and surrounded by 17th-century Venetian walls. Enclosed within these well-preserved fortifications, the Città Alta exudes an old-world charm, offering visitors a glimpse into the city's rich history and cultural heritage.

One of the main attractions within the Città Alta is the Piazza Vecchia, a bustling square adorned with historic buildings, including the Palazzo della Ragione and the Civic Tower. The square serves as the heart of the Upper Town, bustling with local cafes, restaurants, and shops, creating a lively atmosphere perfect for leisurely strolls and people-watching.
