Piazza del Duomo or Piazza Paolo VI as it is currently called is one of the main square in the city of Brescia. The square overlooks the Broletto with the Torre del Pegol, the Rotonda and the Duomo Nuovo.

Broletto is the name of the Medieval Palace, it was built in '200. It was expanded later to incorporate the church of San Agostino. The façade of the very elegant building was restored in the nineteenth century. The term broletto comes from 'brolo' i.e. vegetable garden, the construction area was originally a vegetable garden with orchard. In the main courtyard you can admire a Botticino marble fountain from the '800 with engravings on the sides.

The Torre del Pegol or civic tower stands next to the building. The large balcony on the south side dates back to the 18th century while the large staircase to the east is embellished with beautiful frescoes. It still houses the prefecture, municipal and provincial offices.
La Rotonda, the Duomo Vecchio, is a beautiful ancient church that was erected on the remains of an early Christian cathedral. The entrance to the building is lower than street level and to enter it you need to go down the staircase.

The interior is very wide with high arches supported by large pillars. The funeral monument of Bishop Maggi with beautiful bas-reliefs is located in front of the entrance. Noteworthy are the towels and frescoes of the basilica, as well as the ancient organ of 1536 by Antegnati. Going down again you get to the crypt where you can still see columns of the original church.
This ancient church is very charming and welcoming.

More recent is the other religious temple, the Duomo Nuovo. It took two centuries to build it. The beginning was in the seventeenth century and in the long years of construction the style also changed. So the big building is a mixture of Baroque, Gothic and classicism. The great dome was the last part in 1825. Beautiful works of art embellish the interior and chapels.

Castello di Avigliana Diroccato

Avigliana (223 Km)

The Castle of Avigliana is one of the oldest castles in Piedmont. Built in the tenth century by the Marquis Arduino III, the Castle stands on top of Mount Pezzulano, overlooking the entire village of Avigliana and its lakes. Conquered by the French in 1536 and, then, again, in 1630, the Castle was definitively destroyed in 1691 by the troops who fought against the army of Vittorio Amedeo II of Savoy. Today, only the external walls remain to testify to its ancient importance.

Castello di Camerletto

Caselette (217 Km)

The Castle of Camerletto is located on a hill in the Municipality of Caselette. Its construction dates back to the 10th century. The building was renovated preserving the historical and artistic elements. Currently, it is private property.

Castello di Rivoli

Rivoli (214 Km)

The Castello di Rivoli dates back to the eleventh century and represents a fortified structure along the Valsusino route of the Via Francigena. It was built at the behest of the bishops of Turin and almost immediately passed to the Savoy who made it become a jewel of the Crown of Delights complex. The structure of the royal residence and the terraced garden were the work of the Urbinate Francesco Paciotto. The decorations of the rooms that exalted the members of the dynasty were made by painters such as Morazzone and Isidoro Bianchi.

Villa romana

Almese (219 Km)

On the slopes of Mount Musinè, one of the most important extra-urban residential complexes of the Roman era in Piedmont is preserved. The archaeological excavations, conducted since 1979, highlighted a complex spread over an area of about 3000 square meters. What remains is the ground floor of a building that had to extend even on an upper floor, of which only elements remain collapsed after the abandonment of the structure, such as painted plasters and fragments of paving. On the upper terrace the residential — master rooms developed while on the lower floor those of service (kitchens, handouts, warehouses) and servants' quarters. The finds allow dating between the 1st century AD and the 4th century AD, when the structure suffered a fire. The dominant position on a panoramic slope, with the possibility of ranging from Rivoli to the upper valley of Susa, and the accuracy in the construction of walls and finishes make it an example of great interest of manor house, perhaps of a person linked to the management of customs duties that had an exation point a little lower, along the road of Montgenevro, at the statio ad fines Cottii.

Dinamitificio Nobel

Avigliana (223 Km)

An extraordinary example of industrial archaeology of the early twentieth century, the Nobel Dynamitificio was built in 1873 on a hill on the edge of the town of Avigliana. Equipped with electricity and an internal railway connected to the Avigliana station, it was equipped with a chemical laboratory and produced, in addition to explosives, chemical intermediates, by-products of processing main, fertilizers and varnishes. During the Last World War the plant was the scene of bombing and partisan actions, and closed its doors in the 1960s. The Nobel Dynamitificio Museum, inaugurated in 2002, is a piece of the collective memory of the territory and testifies to the social and productive transformations that occurred over the years. Unique in its kind, it offers an interactive set-up with videos, documents, explanatory panels, vintage photographs and tools used in the production of explosives. In addition, the Museum provides a visit route that, touching the anti-aircraft shelter for workers, tunnels and burst rooms, allows the visitor to immerse himself totally in the reality of the factory, touching the dangerousness and life difficulties of the workers.
