Brescia, the “lioness of Italy”, is known for its majestic Roman remains and status on the UNESCO World Heritage list. The tour will kick off in the heart of ancient Roman Brixia, where you will admire the remaining ruins and the sense of the city’s long history. You will then move along the maximum decuman to the medieval square dedicated to Paul VI, where the two cathedrals and the historic Broletto town hall stand side by side.
As you continue, you will arrive at the scenographic Piazza della Loggia, the Renaissance heart of the city. Here you will see the Palazzo della Loggia, the Monte di Pietà Vecchio e Nuovo, and the beautiful astronomical clock with the Macc de le Ore. The journey will end in the monumental Piazza della Vittoria, a space that speaks of the Second World War and holds several interesting and curious anecdotes about the city’s past. Along the way, you will explore the layers of Brescia’s history through its squares, civic buildings and public monuments.
