A beautiful city of Italy full of charm
Introduction
If we have decided to travel to Italy we should not spend the opportunity to walk through the streets of the beautiful city of Brescia. Its cultural heritage, its infrastructure and its efficient public transport have been made by one of the most popular cities in the country in recent years. Therefore, we wanted to make, here on my trip, a short article with all the necessary information to plan your future trip. The origins of the Italian city of Brescia The city of Brescia was born between the PREALPES and the well -known valley of Po. Here the ligures came during the bronze age and then the Etruscans during the seventh century.Approximately to end up being one of the first Celtic populations of the Italian Peninsula.
Developing
It would be around the year 27 to.C, when the known then as Brixia will become a Roman colony. Thus continued until the seventh century D.C, after the decline of the Empire, which was appointed capital of Ducado Longobardo. Other historical events were happening in the city. We highlight, in the year 1000 D.C, the battle against Federico Barbarroja. Already during the thirteenth century, it would become a strategic point coveted by other large Italian cities such as Venice and Milan. After a bloody struggle, it would be Milan who took them with them after a last attempted siege in the year 1438. However, its best period would come with Venetian control around the early fifteenth century.
When agricultural activities and great artists were favor and encouraged. The French are also part of the history of the city of Brescia. Besieged by Napoleon’s troops, was controlled during the time of conquests and its end incorporation into the Cisalpina Republic. It is also important to mention that the city was also controlled by the Habsburg, specifically by Lombardo Véneto in 1849. The uprising of its inhabitants against the Austrian Empire granted him the nickname of ‘La Leona de Italia’. There is no doubt that Brescia is a fighter who has survived not only over time, but also a continuous sway of conquest.
Thanks to this, we can say that we are facing one of the Italian cities with the deepest cultural footprint. What to see in Brescia? Our first stop will be the forum square. In it we can observe the remains of what was the center of civil life of Roman citizens dated in 73 d.C. In addition, in the same square there are also the remains of the Capitol Temple. Not far from the square is the Roman theater built in the third century D.C, which was also used as a capacity for assemblies. Nor can a stop in the monastery of Santa Giula can be missing in our tour. This was raised on an old Roman house that was expanding until the middle of the Renaissance.
Nearby is the museum of name. Similarly, we recommend visiting Duomo Vecchio, the old Romanesque Brescia Cathedral. Next to her is the current city cathedral. In addition, within the cultural route through the city we can visit, if we have time, several of its best known towers, such as the silver tower, a whole medieval symbol. To crown our visit we recommend you get out of the city to go to the castle of Brescia, perfectly preserved and that has several historical museums inside. Useful tips to make the most of the visit.
Although Brescia has its own airport, there are few flights from Europe that land in it. If we look for flights at a better price and in advance, we advise traveling to some of the two airports in Milan. From here, we can take the train or bus. The route is not long and the prices of both are quite affordable. We will find the Tourism Office at the Piazza Loggia, where in addition to getting the classic map of the city we can see the rest of the activities proposed for tourists. Getting to it is very simple, since it is perfectly marked.
conclusion
Although it is recommended to spend more than a day in the city, we can see most of its tourist attractions in a full day. The city has all the necessary services thanks to the large number of tourists traveling to it every year. We advise to visit it during the first months of the year to avoid large agglomerations and high temperatures of the Mediterranean climate. Finally, we want to mention that Brescia also hosts several musical festivals among which we highlight the Piano International Festival. In the same way also hosts other cultural festivals and festivals such as Mille Miglia, a classic car race that creates more expectation every year.
