What to do and see in Brescia, Lombardy: The Best Traveler Resources

November 17, 2021 Alice Mieles

Set between Milan and Verona at the foot of the Alps, Brescia is the second-largest city in Italy’s northern Lombardy region, with just under 200,000 people. The city’s rich history dates back to pre-Roman times, when it was a Gallic capital. Among the many great local sights are the 11th-century Duomo Vecchio (Old Cathedral, also called La Rotonda), unique for its circular shape, the 17th-century Duomo Nuovo (New Cathedral) next door, and the first-century Roman ruins at Tempio Capitolino.

Usually we don't visit libraries. But this one is something differrent. The staircase, the frescoes and in the reading rooms also the paintings are wonderful.
