La Porta San Lorenzo, officially renamed Porta Garibaldi in 1907, is the smallest, oldest, and most rustic of the four monumental gates that open onto the Venetian Walls of Bergamo, included since 2017 in the UNESCO World Heritage. It was built between 1562 and 1563. It takes its name from the ancient church of the same name that stood in the area and which was demolished by the government of the Republic of Venice precisely to make way for the fortifications. On June 8, 1859, Giuseppe Garibaldi, leading his "Cacciatori delle Alpi" volunteers, entered Bergamo through this gateway. He thus liberated the city from Austrian rule. A plaque on the facade commemorates the event. This historical link is the reason why Bergamo is today nicknamed the "City of the Thousand".

Unlike the modern Città Bassa located on the plain, the upper part retains the intact charm of its cobbled streets, period buildings, and historic squares.
