Piazza della Loggia

One of the first cities in Italy that I wanted to explore was Brescia. At the University, we studied Urban Renewal projects in historic centres, and Brescia was a textbook example of how to succeed. The Renaissance Loggia Palace (Town Hall) is considered the most beautiful building in the city. It dates from 1433. On the south side of the square, there are the facades of the Montes de Piedad, which date from the 15th and 16th centuries, where there are Roman tombstones. The tourist office is in this area. To the east, there's a 16th century astronomical clock.
