Activity itinerary

Piazza della Loggia
  • 20m
Start your exploration in Loggia Square, the symbolic heart of Renaissance Brescia: on the western side stands the majestic Loggia Palace, built in the late 15th century as the seat of the city council. To the south, admire the Mounts of Piety, among the earliest non-profit lending institutions in Italy. On the eastern side, look up at the beautifully decorated Astronomical Clock, dating back to the 16th century, with its golden figures that strike the hours. Don’t miss the Bella Italia Monument, commemorating the city's role in “the Ten Days of Brescia” uprising.
Piazza della Vittoria
  • 25m
Continue to Victory Square, a striking example of Fascist-era urban planning. The bold architecture of the National Insurance Institute, one of Europe’s first skyscrapers, and the monumental Post Office Building reflect a turbulent chapter of modern Italian history.
Paul VI Square
  • 20m
Continue to soak up the vibrant atmosphere at the lively Paul VI Square, where old meets new. From lovely arcade cafés and elegant boutiques nestling under historic porticoes to an array of historic landmarks, including the 17th-century New Cathedral, the 12th century Old Cathedral, and the medieval political center of Broletto Palace, the main square offers something for everyone, making it perfect for people-watching and window-shopping.
Parco archeologico di Brixia romana
  • 25m
Next, travel back nearly two millennia at the Archaeological Park of Roman Brixia, one of the most important Roman sites in northern Italy. Walk among the ruins of the Capitoline Temple, built under Emperor Vespasian and dedicated to Jupiter, Juno, and Minerva. Nearby, explore the remnants of the Roman Theater, where ancient citizens once gathered for performances and public events, offering a powerful glimpse into Brescia’s classical past.
Castello di Brescia
  • 20m
Finally, ascend to Brescia Castle, perched high on a hill and offering breathtaking panoramic views of the city and its surrounding landscapes. You can either choose to unwind in one of the charming cafés nestled in the castle’s scenic park or explore the castle’s storied rooms to uncover fascinating tales from Brescia’s turbulent past, bringing this incredible journey through history to a perfect close.
