Visiting Brescia, Italy


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.

Thotel Brescia

Nov 24, 2009

Mi sarei aspettata molto di più da un 4 stelle di nuova apertura. Pergiunta il personale è sgarbato e i servizi promessi (zona relax, internet,ecc) non sono stati offerti. more
