Loading...Brescia is located in a strategic position in the region Lombardy not too far from Bergamo and Verona, and this city is a nice city to visit.

We can start our tour of Brescia from Piazza Della Loggia, this is the main square of the city and where most of the people decide to meet up.
The loggia from which the square takes its name is the white building with three arches and the hull-shaped dome, which dominates a large facade of richly carved white marble.
As you might guess, this Venetian style square is a square filled with beautiful things to look and getting lost here will definitely bring you to discover new things.
Piazza Paolo V O Dei Due Duomi is another important square in the city and something that will impress you a lot if you know a bit about architecture and history is that in the same square there are two domes.
