Piazza Vecchia and Contarini Fountain
Highlight • Historical Site
The Palazzo della Ragione was the former seat of Bergamo's municipality, and the entire structure underwent numerous modifications; today, the Palazzo della Ragione houses the Fresco Museum, in the Sala delle Capriate. On the right side is the "Scalone dei Giuristi."
To the side stands the Palazzo del Podestà, also known as the Palazzo dei Giuristi, as the Podestà also administered justice. Today, it houses the Museo del Cinquecento (Museum of the 16th Century).
Along the Scalone dei Giuristi, which ascends 46 steps, are ancient tombstones.
And what is now known as the "Campanone" (Big Bell), in 1500, was called the "Turris Nova" and housed the prisons serving the Palazzo dei Giuristi, shops, and a cistern.

Bergamo is completely under the radar as it has a lot to offer but few tourists.
Maybe it's also due to the Corona situation, that a lot of people are still walking around with masks, maybe it's just common sense.
