Historic center of Bormio
Getting lost in the narrow streets while breathing in the thousand-year atmosphere of the "Magnificent Land"
Thanks to its central location along the northern and southern European trade routes, Bormio long enjoyed strong autonomy and wealth that is still reflected today in its historic center.
Strolling through the alleys and lanes of the old town, a gem where medieval remains mingle with those of the 14th-16th centuries, the golden age of the contado, you can encounter numerous civic and religious buildings and the town's symbol, the Kuerc.
Immerse yourself in the atmosphere of what was, for seven hundred years, a democracy in the heart of the Alps, in which modernity has only made its end of the line, leaving glimpses and views intact.
