Discover Boltiere

Boltiere brings together several distinct points of interest for a stay: the parish church of St. George, the history of a medieval castle, and a part of the P.L.I.S. del Basso corso del Fiume Brembo within the municipality. It also has historical links to the former State Road 525 and a municipal sports facility. If you are looking for a hotel in Boltiere, these topics can help you decide what to focus on during your trip. This lets you distinguish between local history, landscape and municipal sports before comparing specific offers.

Church and castle: historical points of interest

One precisely dated point of reference is the parish church of St. George: Bishop Roberto consecrated it on January 19, 1292. The Chapel of Madonna di Lourdes stands directly beside the parish church. This brings two named religious buildings together in close proximity. The church provides a clearly dated point of reference in Boltiere’s history; the adjoining chapel adds another named building to this picture.

Boltiere had a castle in the 14th and 15th centuries. It probably enclosed the settlement’s first nucleus; it was probably destroyed or abandoned in the 16th century. Its significance therefore goes beyond the building itself: the probable enclosure of the settlement’s first nucleus connects the castle with early settlement development, while its possible destruction or abandonment marks a later period in its history. In contrast to the church’s consecration, the castle’s demise is presented as a possibility.

Landscape in the P.L.I.S. del Basso corso del Fiume Brembo

The P.L.I.S. del Basso corso del Fiume Brembo includes part of the municipality of Boltiere and was recognized by the Province of Bergamo in February 2005. The section within the municipality of Boltiere is open to everyone, subject to the park regulations and other applicable municipal rules. If you plan to visit this section, take the park regulations and applicable municipal rules into account.

The landscape of the P.L.I.S. includes a stretch of the Brembo River’s alluvial plain, with clearly visible scarps and terraces. These features bear witness to earlier alluvial phases and point to the development of the river landscape. While the church and castle relate to the built history of the town, the alluvial plain, terraces and scarps draw attention to the shape of the landscape. Historical and landscape points of interest thus stand alongside one another as distinct themes.

Transport links and municipal sports facility

Boltiere lies on the former State Road 525, the historic road connecting Milan and Bergamo. This adds a former transport link to the references to the church and castle, and forms part of the town’s historical context. The Palazzetto Atleti Azzurri d'Italia is one of the municipal sports facilities. It is another named point of interest if municipal sports are among your travel interests.

Once you have decided what to focus on, you can compare hotel offers based on your own requirements.
