The old town centre of Brescia is one of northern Italy’s most interesting archaeological excavation sites. Numerous Roman buildings have been uncovered and restored. When doing a sight seeing tour of the town you can admire and visit the impressive remains of the Forum Romanum, a temple, theatre and basilica, as well as several private villas. The cloister Santa Giulia, which today houses the Town Museum, was also built on the ruins of a Roman villa. These ruins have been perfectly restored and are part of an exhibition about Brescia’s – not only Roman – past, which is worth seeing.
Museo Santa Giulia, Via Musei 81/b, daily, except Mondays, 9:30 – 17:30
