The village of Gorle, near the course of the river Serio, has Roman origins. The first structure of the Castle probably had the task, together with other structures, of controlling the passage and of defending the bridge of Gorle (Ponte Marzio) which, at that time was the only bridge over the river Serio that connected the north-east of Italy with Bergamo, a city that, since the time of Julius Caesar, was part of Cisalpine Gaul. Docuements dating back to the 13th century says that the Castle was part of a residential complex used as a summer residence for the bishops of Bergamo who, over the centuries, left various traces and their simbols still present today, on the facades of the tower. The location, 5 km from the Milan-Orio al Serio airport and the city of Bergamo, 40 km from the center of Milan and Lake Como, make this property a rare opportunity.
