Places and things that you shouldn’t miss seeing in Brescia include the Old and New Cathedrals. These are separate cathedrals and the old one was actually constructed over the remains of the St. Maria Maggiore basilica.

The castle atop a Cidneo Hill is also worth driving up to. It has all the trimmings of medieval castles and exploring its grounds will bring you back to these olden times. Finally, there is the Il Teatro Grande; Brescian house of music. Both the outer and inner designs of the theater are magnificently done, with contemporary and Baroque styles mixed together.
