Welcome to the Museo delle Storie di Bergamo

Welcome to the Museo delle Storie di Bergamo, the city’s network of historical museums! Six sites, with six stories to tell, so you can dive into different historical eras.

In Upper Bergamo, you’ll find the Convento di San Francesco with the Museo delle Fotografia Sestini and Bergamo 900, the Civic Tower known as the Campanone, the Palazzo del Podestà, which houses the Museo del 500, and the Rocca, home to the Museo dell’800 and the Museo Donizettiano. In Lower Bergamo, there’s the Torre dei Caduti with an exhibition about the birth of modern Bergamo.
