Porta San Giacomo, perhaps the most beautiful of the access gates from the Venetian walls to the upper city of Bergamo, was built in 1592, it is the only one in pinkish white marble from the Zandobbio quarry in Val Cavallina. The construction of the Venetian walls began in 1561, and they were to be the outpost protected to the west of the territories of the Serenissima by the Milanese who after the death of Francesco Sforza II (1535) and the peace of Cateau-Cambrésis (1559) had become a Spanish province. The walls have four gates that make the entrance to the upper part of the city accessible: Porta San Lorenzo, Porta Sant'Agostino, Porta Sant'Alessandro and Porta San Giacomo, and until the mid-twentieth century when the bell struck a hundred tolls at 10 p.m., they were closed.
