Join a guided walking tour in the heart of Brescia and discover a city with a remarkable historical and architectural heritage. The tour begins in Piazza del Foro, a meeting point and gateway to Roman-era Brescia: here you can discern the traces of ancient Brixia and understand how the past continues to engage in dialogue with the city of today.
We will continue to Piazza Paolo VI, one of the most iconic squares in the city center, dominated by the two cathedrals: the Old Cathedral and the New Cathedral. Next door, Palazzo del Broletto tells the story of the evolution of civic power, having been the seat of local government since medieval times. Your guide will help you connect different eras, highlighting details and interesting facts that often go unnoticed on a self-guided tour.
The walk continues to Piazza della Loggia, Brescia's Renaissance “salon,” graced by the Palazzo della Loggia, the Clock Tower and the Monti di Pietà: a harmonious ensemble that showcases the city's civic and artistic identity. The route ends in Piazza Vittoria, a major urban development project from the Fascist period, which is also useful for understanding Brescia's more recent history and its modern face.
