Mantova

Mantova

The city of Mantua is one of the most beautiful and important Renaissance jewels present on the Italian territory and also for this reason it was declared as UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2008.
Deeply linked to the noble house of the Gonzagas who made it, from 1328 to 1707, a city-court of great splendor, the city extends like a small peninsula in three artificial water mirrors created in the past to defend the city and derived from the meanders of the MIncio river: Lake Superior, Lake Mezzo and Lake Inferiore. This peculiarity makes Mantua unique, which almost seems to be born from the water like a new Venice of the hinterland.
In addition to the naturalistic aspect, to leave the visitors breathless, so is the Renaissance architecture of the buildings erected by the Gonzagas that are worth a visit:
PALAZZO DUCALE, CASTLE OF SAN GIORGIO, PALAZZO TE, ROTONDA DI SAN LORENZO, BASILICA OF SANT'ANDREA, CHURCH OF SAN SEBASTIANO and much more.
