Capitolium
A remarkably preserved Roman temple from 73 AD, part of a UNESCO-listed archaeological park. Combined tickets with Santa Giulia keep costs low for the quality of what you see.

Brescia
3 things to see
Brescia is an overlooked Lombard city, and its lack of tourist fame translates directly into lower prices, authentic neighborhood bars, and the rare chance to have genuine Roman ruins nearly to yourself. The UNESCO-listed Roman Capitolium and the Santa Giulia museum complex inside a former monastery anchor the centre, while the squares and the hilltop castle grounds are free to wander. Trains to Verona, Bergamo, and Milan are short and cheap, so Brescia works well as a quieter base for the region.

Things to do in Brescia
What each one costs, where the cost is known.
Piazza della Loggia
Brescia's Venetian-style main square, framed by a Renaissance loggia and an astronomical clock tower. Free to enjoy, with affordable cafes lining the arcades.
Santa Giulia Museum
A sprawling museum complex inside a former Benedictine convent covering 3,000 years of history. The Winged Victory and Roman mosaics alone justify the modest entry fee.
