Brescia Essentials

Brescia features one of northern Italy's most significant Roman archaeological zones, including the 1st-century Capitolium and Roman Theatre. The city’s UNESCO-listed Santa Giulia complex spans 3,000 years of history within a former monastery. Medieval highlights include the hilltop Castello di Brescia and the 11th-century circular Duomo Vecchio. The Renaissance is represented by the Palazzo della Loggia, while the Mille Miglia Museum, housed in an 11th-century monastery, commemorates the city's famous open-road endurance race.
