The relationship between Bergamo and Venice was very strong; for almost four centuries, Bergamo shared history, art and culture of the Venetian Republic. When Venice decided in 1561 to start building the walls, it was a time of serious tension between Venice and Spain, which was ruling also the State of Milan. These walls represented more of a political than a strategic target; the powerful fortress of Bergamo was supposed to express the clear intentions of the Republic to protect itself against possible Spanish expansionary aims. At the same time, the walls represented a reassuring asset, because there was not sufficient space to keep an army large enough to carry out an attack. The walls are very well kept and one of the most important example of city walls of the sixteenth century.
