Things to do in Brescia, Lombardy: The Best Churches & Cathedrals

October 20, 2021 Osvaldo Hartline

Set between Milan and Verona at the foot of the Alps, Brescia is the second-largest city in Italy’s northern Lombardy region, with just under 200,000 people. The city’s rich history dates back to pre-Roman times, when it was a Gallic capital. Among the many great local sights are the 11th-century Duomo Vecchio (Old Cathedral, also called La Rotonda), unique for its circular shape, the 17th-century Duomo Nuovo (New Cathedral) next door, and the first-century Roman ruins at Tempio Capitolino.

This place is absolutely beautiful! You can walk around the duomo and from every side the view is just as beautiful! Extra tip: visit the shop Coins and go to the 3rd floor. There is a cafe with a beautiful view over the duomo!
