The entrance to Brescia Castle on a sunny winter day: a white stone gateway on a bridge over the dry moat, set in high bastion walls, with the round tower and keep on the hill behind.

Brescia Castle

Brescia Castle stands on Cidneo hill above the old town, a site used since the Bronze Age and crowned by a Roman temple in the 1st century AD. Its oldest standing parts are the 14th-century Visconti keep and the Mirabella tower, with Venetian bastions and a drawbridge gate added in the 16th century; it houses an arms museum and a Risorgimento museum.
