    The castle is interesting and you get a wonderful overview of Brescia! There are also lots of information signs to explain what you're looking at. It's really worth the walk or drive up the hill.
  • By Jeroen Ensink
    It is a great walk to get underway from the center of the city towards the castle. Some amazing views over the city that you can admire.
