Territorio

The province of Brescia is divided between the Prealps, crossed by valleys steeped in history, and the typically flat Brescia plain, separated from the mountains by the fertile hills of Franciacorta, renowned, then as now, for the excellent production of DOC wines, particularly appreciated by connoisseurs of good food.
Brescia is an ancient city, as evidenced by the presence of perfectly preserved Roman remains in the archaeological area. Brescia is home to two must-see squares: Piazza della Loggia, in typical Venetian style, overlooked by the Palazzo del Potere and a splendid artistic clock. Piazza Paolo IV separates the city's two cathedrals: the Duomo Nuovo and the Duomo Vecchio.
Set apart from the historic center and located atop a hill, a visit to the historic Castello, a medieval fortress perched in a strategic position, is a must.
The province of Brescia is home to numerous lakes of great tourist interest; from the small Lake Iseo, beautifully nestled among the mountains, to Garda - the largest lake in Italy - whose left shore is almost entirely in Brescia with its splendid towns, first and foremost Gardone Riviera and Desenzano del Garda.
