GombitHotel in Via Mario Lupo is next to the 12th century Gombito Tower right in the heart of the oldest part of the medieval city, only a few metres' walk away from Piazza Vecchia.

But despite its stone facade, GombitHotel has a bright modern decor and is furnished in contemporary style with modern furniture and works of art.

This 'design' hotel has 13 rooms on four floors all with air conditioning, minibar, satellite television and free wi fi.

Via Mario Lupo is off Via Gombito at the point where the Torre di Gombito rises high above the street.

Nowadays the tower houses the tourist information office on its ground floor where you can get free maps and leaflets and ask for help and advice.

The tower is believed to have had Roman origins before being rebuilt in the 12th century in its present form. It was modified centuries ago to become a shop, which later caused it to become unstable.

In 1848 local people assembled in the Torre di Gombito to rise up against the Austrians who ruled Bergamo at the time.Towards the end of the 19th century restoration work was carried out to make safe and preserve the tower.
