What's included, what's not

  • What's includedWhat's included
    The ducal palace of the Palazzo Ducale di Mantova is much more than just a residence; it is almost a small city where hanging gardens, courtyards, squares and apartments intertwine, all gathered around the beating heart of the palace: the Palatine Basilica of Santa Barbara. During the visit, we will have the opportunity to explore the elegant apartments of the Gonzaga family, admire the Gothic details of Pisanello's works, and be captivated by the famous Camera degli Sposi painted by Andrea Mantegna. We will continue our route with the tapestries designed by Raphael, until we reach the Corte Nuova, beautifully decorated by Giulio Romano. Finally, we will find ourselves in front of Rubens' masterpiece, completing an unforgettable journey among the works of art that tell the storey and power of the Gonzaga family. A visit that not only reveals the artistic and architectural magnificence of Mantua, but also the refined taste and grandeur of one of the most influential families of the Italian Renaissance.
