Interesting visit. Some spectacular displays from the average to the weird and wonderful. The giants room is impressive as is the grotto.

Palazzo Ducale

Reviewed By NesligulD - Istanbul, Turkey

The Duke’s palace in Mantova is really majestic and beautiful. We visited it in two sessions with one ticket, half of it in the morning and the old part ( Corte Vecchio) in the afternoon after a break for lunch. The Gonzaga family ruled here between 1300’s to 1700’s. Then the Habsburgs took over for a long time. The matrimonial room is one of the highlights of the palace with its beautiful frescoes. The fresco in the ceiling gives a feeling of depth. The old court is fascinating with its beautiful paintings ( some by Rubens) , frescoes and statues. There was also a contemporary exhibition inside.
