Mantua's Historic Churches

The collection highlights the Gonzaga family’s influence through the Basilica Palatina di Santa Barbara and extends to the surrounding province, featuring the Sanctuary of the Beata Vergine delle Grazie—known for its unique votive statues—and the Baroque Basilica di San Luigi in Castiglione delle Stiviere.
