Palazzolo

Palazzolo stands on the banks of the Oglio, south of Lake Iseo between the lands of Bergamo and Brescia. Its name appears in records as early as 830. An old bridge crosses the river in the centre of the town, recalling the importance of this crossing. Between 1813 and 1830 the Torre del Popolo was erected, adding a tall round tower to Palazzolo's skyline.
