What to do and see in Brescia, Lombardy: The Best Hidden Gems Things to do
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.

3. Museo Diocesano Brescia
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 88 reviews
Nella splendida cornice del Chiostro di San Giuseppe sorge il Museo Diocesano, nato per garantire la tutela e la custodia delle opere d’arte sacra la cui conservazione era resa precaria dalla collocazione in edifici ecclesiastici chiusi al culto, fatiscenti o insicuri. La collezione permanente, posta al primo piano, comprende una serie di sezioni, dedicate alla pittura e alla scultura dal Trecento all'Ottocento, all'oreficeria sacra e ai paramenti liturgici. Al piano terra potrete invece ammirare la neonata sezione dei codici miniati, che comprende una raccolta di splendidi volumi manoscritti, realizzati a partire dal XII secolo.
