University of Brescia

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.

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

This 1st-century venue is the second largest of its type in Northern Italy, having accommodated up to 15,000 spectators to events in ancient Roman Brixia.

Restored rooms and multimedia displays help you to imagine how this temple would have looked back when the ancient Roman town of Brixia was at its peak.

Trace a timeline of Brescia’s rich heritage from prehistoric times to the 19th century at this museum and former convent complex.
