Cavernago Castle, the Earl of Martinengo-Colleoni’s stately residence, is only a few minutes walk away through the quiet Lombardy countryside. The land, on which there was previously a rural construction, was bought by Colleoni in the XVth century. Completely lacking in structural defences such as towers and merlons that normally surround castles that are created as fortresses, Cavernago Castle is designed as the home for the Colleoni family. Cavernago Castle with its elegant and harmonious designs is a typical example of a baroque building.
A brochure about the castle is available at the hotel.
From the hotel the wonderful Malpaga Castle is within easy to reach by bike or even on foot. Its impressive rooms and its imposing arcade can still recreate the atmosphere of magnificence and greatness which characterised it during the Colleoni era. The walls of the inner yard, whose boundaries are marked by wide imposing arches, are magnificently painted with battle and hunting scenes celebrating the deeds of the great leader of Bergamo. In the wonderful hall on the ground floor people can still admire the frescos representing the visit paid by King Cristian of Denmark to Colleoni and the great banquet organized in his honour.
