Beautiful duomo. See if if you enjoy churches and cathedrals.
Sep 2023 • Couples
The duomo and baptistry are truly beautiful. Unfortunately much of it was closed when we visited. However, there was enough that we could appreciate the artistry and beauty. I highly recommend if you're in town!

Beautiful church but it’s only the second one
Mar 2023 • Couples
This must-see attraction is in the Old Town, on Piazza Duomo, near the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore. It’s the largest church of the city, it’s from 15. century. Inside there are many frescos and nice decoration. I liked it, but the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore is more marvellous for me.

A Must See.
Aug 2021
The history of the Cathedral of Bergamo goes back to the 9th century.
The current church dates form the 17th century and is dedicated to Saint Alexander of Bergamo, patron saint of the city.
The cathedral has a Latin cross ground plan with a single nave with awesome paintings ans sculptures.
Admission is free, although a (small) donation will always be appreciated.
Nearby stands the 14th century octagonal baptistery.

The Duomo is definitely a must when visiting Bergamo Alta. The interior is impressive and the atmosphere is special. Within the Duomo you can find the reliques and a few belongings of San Giovanni the XVIII.

A beautiful interior, magnificent frescoes
Oct 2019
The cathedral is inconspicuous from the outside, a bit pressed into other buildings, f inished with beautiful white marble from the outside, it does not make a huge impression but inside it is breathtaking. Impressive interior with magnificent baroque frescoes and stucco. The one-nave St. Alexander's Cathedral reaches back to the early 6th century. It was reconstructed many times until the 19th century. Its outside appearance is neo-Classical style but the interior it's fairytale Baroque. I think it will impress not only people interested in art and architecture. On the left side of the nave a chapel with a miraculous crucifix, on the right a chapel dedicated to Pope John 23. It is worth visiting for a while and admire this amazing work of human hands in silence. At the Piazza del Duomo, next to the Basilica of Santa Maria and opposite the cathedral, you can see the historic Baptistery. Baptistery moved from the nave of the cathedral many times, finally in 1856 thanks to Virginio Muzio it stood in its present place. It is a characteristic, octagonal building with a small loggia and columns, built in 1340. On each side you can see carvings with scenes from the life of Christ by Giovanni da Campione. A must see when in Bergamo.
