The Torre di Adalberto, also known as the Torre della fame, is one of the oldest medieval towers in Bergamo. Built from sandstone between the 10th and 13th centuries, it served as a prison for captured invaders and tax evaders during the Venetian Republic. The tower's single high entrance was designed to prevent easy access. A visit offers insight into Bergamo's rich history and architectural heritage. While the tower currently remains a historical site, it is not fully accessible for tours. Visitors should check local resources for specific visiting hours and any potential fees.
