\nThere are several cycling routes <\/strong>going through the province of Bergamo<\/strong>. All of them\u00a0 enable bickers to reach small villages with ancient castles or town walls<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

These spots cannot be easily found and this kind of trip offer fascinating views and environments difficult to forget.<\/p>\n

Among the beauties of this area there is Clusone,<\/strong><\/span> a peaceful town boasting an important artistic and architectural heritage<\/strong>. The larger monuments are found in the town centre although important examples of local culture can also be seen in the smaller streets and these are often quite surprising.\"clusone56\"<\/p>\n

An example of this is the XV century complex of Paradiso Church<\/strong> opening onto the piazza with the same name with a sombre bell-shaped fa\u00e7ade.<\/p>\n

In the centre there is the elegant residence of the Carrara Spinelli <\/strong>and a short\u00a0 distance away there is an interesting Art and Time Museum<\/strong>, housed in the XVII century Palazzo Marinoni Barca<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Continuing onwards there is the sweet church of Saint Anne <\/strong>dated 1487, decorated with votive frescoes.<\/p>\n

In the Piazza dell\u2019Orologio<\/strong> (Clock Piazza) there is a lovely collection of historical buildings that\u00a0 revolve around the serious fa\u00e7ade of the Palazzo Comunale<\/strong> (Town hall). On the side of the palazzo there is the Clock Tower<\/strong>, an extraordinarily elaborate mechanism created in 1583 by the Clusonese Pietro Fanzago.<\/p>\n

\"clusone7gr\"<\/p>\n

The Basilica of Santa Maria Assunt<\/strong>a is found in the centre of the town. This is another important project by Giovan Battista Quadrio built in 1688.<\/p>\n

The real treasure of the church is found in the presbytery<\/strong>, where one can see the valued high altar, sculpted by Andrea Fantoni, and the Altarpiece\u00a0 of the Assumption<\/strong>, a masterpiece painted by Sebastiano Ricci, well known Venetian painter.\"clusone5\"<\/p>\n

Opposite the church there is one of Clusone\u2019s most famous monuments, the XV century Oratorio Disciplini<\/strong>. The fa\u00e7ade is decorated with an awe-inspiring series of frescoes, which illustrate, in characteristic medieval tradition, the theme of Death.<\/p>\n

After the basilica, there is Palazzo Fogaccia<\/strong>, an imposing nobleman\u2019s villa from the late XVII century that juxtaposes the simplicity of the external appearance to the sumptousness of the internal halls, decorated with eighteenth century frescoes.<\/p>\n

The last thing that remains to be seen is the small Church of San Defendente <\/strong>(1471) decorated with votive frescoes.<\/p>\n

Where to stay in Lombardy.<\/a><\/p>\n
