Discover Boltiere – Holiday apartment in Boltiere, castle history and the Brembo landscape

Boltiere can be explored through several clearly identifiable themes: religious buildings, a layered local history, the historic connection between Milan and Bergamo, and the landscape of the Brembo River. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Boltiere, this gives you various starting points for a trip that combines culture and nature.

Church and local history

The St George Parish Church was consecrated by Bishop Roberto on January 19, 1292. Beside Boltiere Parish Church stands the Madonna di Lourdes Chapel. The immediate proximity of these two religious buildings makes the area a natural point of reference for travellers interested in religious architecture and the history of a place.

Boltiere Castle is also part of the town’s historical narrative. A castle existed in Boltiere in the 14th and 15th centuries. It probably enclosed the town’s first settlement core and was probably destroyed or abandoned in the 16th century. These cautious chronological classifications preserve the character of a history made up of several periods, without turning the traces of the castle into a still-existing structure.

Historic transport connection and the Brembo landscape

Boltiere is located on the former State Road 525, the historic connecting road between Milan and Bergamo. This aspect may be interesting for travel planning if you would like to combine cultural discoveries with a look at the development of the surrounding area.

The P.L.I.S. del Basso corso del Fiume Brembo covers part of Boltiere’s municipal territory and was recognised by the Province of Bergamo in February 2005. del Basso corso del Fiume Brembo also includes a section of the Brembo River floodplain with clearly visible escarpments and terraces that testify to earlier alluvial phases. This gives the landscape a clearly recognisable geological dimension. The part belonging to the P.L.I.S. within Boltiere’s municipal territory is open to everyone, subject to compliance with the park regulations and other applicable municipal rules.

Sports facility and palaces

Boltiere’s municipal sports facilities include the Palazzetto Atleti Azzurri d'Italia. There are also two palaces with distinct names in the area around Boltiere: Frizzoni Palace is a palace in the area around Boltiere, and Terzi Palace is likewise a palace in the area around Boltiere.
