Lo mejor de la Provincia de Mantua

Provincia di Mantova's Absolute Essentials

The province of Mantova is defined by the legacy of the Gonzaga dynasty and its patronage of Renaissance masters. In the city of Mantua, highlights include the monumental Palazzo Ducale complex, Giulio Romano’s Mannerist masterpiece Palazzo Te, and Leon Battista Alberti’s Basilica of Sant'Andrea. Beyond the provincial capital, the UNESCO-listed 'ideal city' of Sabbioneta showcases 16th-century urban planning, while the fortified village of Castellaro Lagusello offers a glimpse into the region's medieval defensive history and prehistoric pile-dwelling heritage.
