Witness the town’s long history: the medieval tower became a workshop in the Renaissance and now welcomes tourists and visitors from all over the world
The term “Gombito” derives from the very location of the tower, which stands ad compitum, that is, at the point of intersection of the cardo and decumanus maximus of the Roman city (St. Lawrence Street/Mario Lupo Street and Gombito Street, respectively).
It was built in the 12th century and reaches, today, a height of 52 meters compared to the original 64 meters.
The tower has retained its original appearance, characteristic of medieval defensive constructions.
In the 16th century on the first floor two workshops were started on both sides.
The building maintained a commercial vocation until the last decade of the twentieth century.
Donated to the City of Bergamo in 1877, the tower underwent a series of structural interventions that respected its perfect masonry technique and skillful construction details.
