Casa Natale di Papa Paolo VI

Marvel at rich Baroque decoration, precious artworks by the likes of Moretto and Grazio Cossali, and a pretty cloister in this 16th-century religious complex.

Set inside the city’s impressive centuries-old castle, this fascinating museum holds an impressive collection of old-fashioned weapons and period armor.

Explore this huge, hilltop castle complex to see a 14th-century keep now housing an arms museum as well as a granary that hosts a museum devoted to Italian unification.

Wait until the turn of the hour to see this beautiful old clock tower whirr into action, just as it has done since the 16th century.

With most of its walls and ceiling covered with frescoes, this church has earned the nickname the Sistine Chapel of Brescia.

Two starkly different themes have earned this beautiful old square its fame: superb Venetian architecture and a horrific terrorist attack in the 1970s.
