The story

Story · Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore

  • en
  • nl

You're standing on Piazza del Duomo in Bergamo's upper town, next to the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore. Notice anything odd? There's no grand front façade with a main entrance. That side of the church was once joined to the Bishops' Palace. So you get in through side doors instead.
