Piazza della Loggia
A Venetian-style Renaissance square with the white marble Loggia Palace and astronomical clock tower, the finest living room in Brescia.
The Palazzo della Loggia (now the town hall) was built in the 15th and 16th centuries, with designs involving masters such as Palladio. Its distinctive lead-clad roof is shaped like an upturned boat hull. Across from it, two bronze figures on the clock tower strike the bell every hour. The square's arcades are lined with cafés, and there is also a memorial to the 1974 bombing. A few steps south is Piazza della Vittoria, a Fascist-era square, and to the east lies the way to the Old and New Cathedrals.
