Bergamo Cathedral, dedicated to Saint Alexander, the city's patron, stands on Piazza Duomo in the upper town beside Santa Maria Maggiore. Rebuilt from the mid-15th century on the site of an older cathedral, it was refurbished to designs by Carlo Fontana in 1689 and received its Neoclassical façade in 1889. Inside are paintings by Tiepolo, Moroni and Previtali.
The Colleoni Chapel is a Renaissance funerary chapel in Bergamo's upper town, built in 1472–1476 to designs by Giovanni Antonio Amadeo for the condottiero Bartolomeo Colleoni, beside Santa Maria Maggiore. Its façade is faced in coloured marble around a rose window; inside are the tombs of Colleoni and his daughter Medea and ceiling frescoes by Tiepolo.
The Visconti Citadel is a fortified complex in the western part of Bergamo's upper town, begun in 1355 by Bernabò Visconti. Under Venetian rule it lost its military role and was sold off in lots; restorations from 1958 recovered towers, the arcaded portico and 14th-century frescoes. Its buildings now house the city's archaeological and natural science museums.
