Skyline di Mantova

Reviewed By Mikaello - Mantua, Italy

When you will arrive by car to Mantua I recommend you to enter from north, through St. George Bridge: only in this way you can be astonished by the wonderful sight of Art Buildings growing like big flowers from the waters od the lakes created by River Mincio embracing the town from three sides!

Interesting visit. Some spectacular displays from the average to the weird and wonderful. The giants room is impressive as is the grotto.

Rotonda di San Lorenzo

Reviewed By DamCar65

Just opposite the Basilica di Sant'Andrea is a lovely little chapel called “Rotonda di San Lorenzo”. The most ancient church in the city (11th century), inspired by the Holy Sepulchre Church in Jerusalem and dedicated to St Lawrence. Completely round with beautiful Byzantine frescoes. You can feel the history as soon as you walk in the door and also a great way to escape from the heat for a few minutes. A card (in various languages) is available at the entrance explaining several features. Very well worth a few minutes of your time.

We visited this basilica twice, and were fortunate the 2nd time to be given an extensive tour and oral history by one of the volunteer guides. As it was July 2020, there were very few people visiting.

Rocca di Solferino

At the top of the highest hill in Solferino lies a majestic building 23 meters high dating back to 1022. This hill was contended by the Austrians and the French Army that was allied with the Piedmontese Army during the battle of June 24th 1859. Defined as “The spy of Italy” due to its strategic location, this fortress is surrounded by a vast park. Relics discovered on the battle field are preserved inside this fortress, which was acquired and restored by the Association. Moreover, documents relating to the history of the Fortress and of the Mint of Gonzaga in Solferino are displayed inside and along the wooden stairs that lead to the panoramic terrace.Before getting to the terrace a large room opens up and here we can find portraits of Victor Emmanuel II and Napoleone III and for this reason it is named “The Sovereigns’ Room”. From the Fortress terrace you can enjoy the gorgeous panorama of the verdant countryside that lays beneath and admire, from a distance, the Tower of San Martin

Abbazia di Polirone

A pochi chilometri da Mantova si trova San Benedetto Po, nominato uno dei Borghi più belli d’Italia. La sua storia è indissolubilmente legata a quella della maestosa Abbazia di Polirone, fondata nel 1007 da Tedaldo di Canossa, nonno della più famosa Matilde, sull’isola che sorgeva tra il fiume Po e il Lirone, un ramo del grande fiume oggi scomparso. Affacciato su una delle piazze più grandi d’Italia, luogo prediletto e cuore della vita religiosa del lungo regno della contessa Matilde di Canossa, il complesso monastico rappresenta oggi uno dei centri culturali, storici ed artistici più importanti del territorio mantovano e della regione Lombardia. Per l’impegno religioso, politico e culturale, il complesso Polironiano ha occupato un ruolo fondamentale nella storia del monachesimo italiano fino alla sua soppressione, avvenuta nel 1797, ad opera di Napoleone Bonaparte. Oltre mille anni di storia sono sedimentati nelle strutture e nei numerosi e suggestivi ambienti del complesso.
