Hidden Gems

Beyond its main squares, Brescia holds a network of medieval defensive structures and quiet devotional sites. The 13th-century Pallata Tower and the 54-meter Torre del Pegol showcase the city’s historic fortifications, while the 16th-century astronomical clock tower defines Piazza della Loggia. The list also highlights the region's 'santelle'—traditional roadside shrines like those in Val Carobbio—and hidden ruins such as the Trinceroni tunnels and the remains of Malga Romèt, offering a look at the city's religious heritage and rural history.
