Chiesa e Centro Pastorale Papa Giovanni XIII

As early as the 9th century there were two cathedrals in the city of Bergamo. One was the Basilica of Saint Alexander, located on the site of his supposed martyrdom, the other was the Cathedral of Saint Vincent located on the site of the present building. In 1561 the Venetians destroyed the Cathedral of Saint Alexander. It was finally in the 17th century that a bull of Pope Innocent XI established a single chapter and a single cathedral. In 1689 the structure was renovated by Carlo Fontana. Another important renovation, undertaken in the 19th century, focused mainly on the neoclassical façade (1889).

The church of San Martino is first mentioned in the 14th century, but the building was renovated in 1505. The increase in the number of worshippers made it necessary to enlarge and rebuild the church in the 18th century. The project was entrusted to Luca Luchini by the parish priest of the time, Giovanni Maria Albricci, and the first stone was laid on 15 August 1727. Of the old church, only the old façade was saved, which became the left side of the new building. In 1732, the church, although not yet completed, was opened for liturgical celebrations. The church was consecrated in 1880.

The church of San Zenone was built on a project by Paolo Ogna of Rezzato in baroque style in 1868 to replace the old place of worship which had been destroyed, many of his works were recovered and placed in the new church. The new road was built in 1870 and consequently, the staircase divided into two ramps and the new façade of the church were built.
