• Tempio Capitolino e Piazza del Foro - Piazza del Foro is the vibrant center of ancient Roman Brixia and stands as one of the most significant and well-preserved archaeological sites in Northern Italy, now honored as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Dominated by the grand Capitoline Temple (73 AD), constructed by Emperor Vespasian, the square provides a remarkable insight into Imperial life. The impressive white marble Corinthian columns and the remnants of the nearby Roman Theatre continue to testify to Brescia’s historical significance as the region’s main political and religious hub.
• Piazza Paolo VI - Piazza Paolo VI, formerly known as Piazza del Duomo, serves as the medieval and spiritual core of Brescia, showcasing an architectural panorama unique in Italy due to the presence of two cathedrals side by side. The square is characterized by the contrast between the Romanesque solemnity of the Duomo Vecchio (Old Cathedral), with its rare 11th-century circular design, and the Baroque-Neoclassical grandeur of the Duomo Nuovo (New Cathedral), featuring a striking marble facade and one of Italy’s tallest domes. Completing this remarkable historical tapestry is the Palazzo del Broletto, the ancient center of medieval civic power; with its tower and portico, it represents the perfect harmony between religious and civil authority that has shaped the city’s identity.
• Piazza della Loggia - Piazza della Loggia is the gem of the Brescian Renaissance, a space of exceptional harmony designed in the 15th century under the aesthetic influence of the Republic of Venice. The square is dominated by the magnificent Palazzo della Loggia, the City Hall, with its splendid white marble facade, and the renowned Clock Tower, which houses a valuable astronomical clock dating back to 1546. Here, the beloved ‘Macc de le ure’—two mechanical statues that chime the hours on the great bell—have marked the daily life of citizens for centuries, making this square the most cherished symbol of Brescia’s civic identity and cultural vibrancy.
