Only if the date changes, and two days before. No annoying notifications.

On Saturday 21 and Sunday 22 November 2026, the former prison of Sant'Agata opens all its spaces to the city for the first time. Two days to step through a gate that has been closed for decades and see up close how the complex is being reborn as an open urban space, to be experienced and shared. The SANTAGATA project brings together several souls: the cultural one, the residential one and the one of memory, gathering the legacy of the place's past. The initiative is promoted by the Municipality of Bergamo and funded by the European Union (NextGenerationEU, PNRR, Bando PINQuA).
