Piazza Vecchia is the heart of Bergamo Alta, it is considered one of the most beautiful squares in Europe. In the center of the square is the Contarini Fountain with its sphinxes and all around the Palazzo della Ragione, the Campanone, the Palazzo del Podestà and the Angelo Mai Library with its 600 ancient volumes. The fountain was donated by the Podestà of Venice, Alvise Contarini, when in 1780 he left his post in Bergamo. It was meant to embellish the square, but above all, to bring water to the center of the Upper Town and make it available to everyone. The sphinxes with the fountains have four lions on the sides, the symbol of Venice. Since the architect and urban planner Le Corbusier complained about the presence of cars in the upper town in 1949, the mayor at the time banned parking and then all his successors extended the ban to the entire upper town. For this reason, even today, the square and its surroundings are a place of beauty and quiet.
