Cittadella Principale testimonianza del dominio visconteo a Bergamo, che dal 1333 si protrasse sino al 1428, quando la Città passò sotto la dominazione veneziana. Formatosi con l'edificazione da parte di Rodolfo Visconti nel 1379 di alloggiamenti della guarnigione, il complesso, denominato Hospitium Magnum, ha subito numerosi interventi. Il portico visconteo ad archi ogivali è stato restaurato nel 1958. Nella Cittadella hanno oggi sede il Museo di scienze naturali Enrico Caffi e il Museo Archeologico.
