Let's talk about the architecture of the city?
About monasteries and the church, saying that such a rich history has left numerous traces of the Lombard era to modern.
Monastery of Santa Giulia, who is now City Museum.
complex begins with the church of San Salvatore, built in 753 by order of the Duke Desiree , the future King of the Lombards. In consequence his daughter, Anselperga (Anselperga), will become abbess of the convent, which will be formed around San Salvador. The building was built from scratch, but based on ancient Roman apses, particularly in the three nefah still have the column relating to the I century BC, and despite the fact that in the IX century building has undergone some fairly strong reconstruction. addition to the three "Roman" aisles to our times is preserved extension of the Byzantine type, ie transept with three apses, decorated with frescoes. But initially kept small, in the XII century, was made the next major overhaul, which has led to a Romanesque monastery style. The Chapel of Santa Maria in Solarium. But the final structure of the complex acquired by the end of the XV century. Now we can see the works of Paolo Kylene il Giovanni (1485-1545).
This photo is just a fresco by Paolo Kylene but him in the temple worked Floriano Ferramola, who made, for example, large crucifix:
, but here is my mom of all my pictures of attractions like the Monastery of "smart Baptist" (c)
Now the monastery is not valid, again, and shelters within its walls the museum. It was there, as I wrote in a previous post, there is a vending machine of ancient Roman coins. It is absolutely logical, because since 2003 there a museum dedicated to the Roman era city.
I really liked the area of the Duomo in Brescia them for two: Old and New.
Old, Duomo Vecchio:
In the XI century it was built on the foundations of the old basilica of San Pietro de House relating to the VII century, all the information about it pops up in the chronicle of relevant by the end of the XVI century, written by Baldassare Zamboni (Baldassarre Zamboni). From there we learn that prior to the restructuring of basil survived two major fires, dating back to 800 and 1096 years, except addition, the area of Brescia were recorded two earthquakes in 1117 and 1144, respectively.
from the old basilica in the crypt of the Duomo is preserved only San Filastrio.
At the end of the XIII century Bishop Bernardo Maggi (Berardo Maggi) expanded the cathedral, rebuilt cupola of the building. He was buried in the rotunda of the Duomo,
This is his grave.
Further changes occurred in the Duomo also for the better, when the city was in possession of Venice, the place of work on the decoration of the cathedral.
continue to make some photos of interiors, made author of Learn with his trusty iPhone:

continued his speech.
How do you know that today's appearance is the result of two improvements after construction, but it is of interest from the Crypt VII century up to the last adjustment "era of Venice."
Externally temple built of white local stone, has one window with three arches.
If you want to see the crypt, you have to go down the stairs in the center of the room. Crypt is divided into three naves. Has its name in honor of Bishop Brescia IV century. Until we reached a fresco fragment, most likely, is Christ with the angels and saints Filastrio and Apollo.
in the main hall of the temple is worthy of attention Tomb Bonino da Campione ( Bonino da Campione ), one of the authors of sculptures in Milan Duomo. Describe all the details ... it's worth a separate post.
next to the old Duomo is the Duomo Nuovo.
Duomo Nuovo was built on the site of the church Pietro de House (Pietro de Dom), V century)
Initially, the order is received Andrea Palladio , but for economic reasons it was replaced by Giovanni Battista Lantana, when he finished his work in Milan, Luigi Kanela (Luigi Cagnola), he joined the Giovanni. He did dome, which resembles the dome of St. Peter in the Vatican (or Isaac in St. Petersburg, though not, in Brescia is better).
In general area of the two Duomo looks like:
Also an important part of the Gothic town's history is the Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi.
typical of the era, the end of XII century gabled facade of rough stone, decorated with a flower box. The temple was built by monks in the Franciscan thanks for the suppression of disorder. The temple was the center of the Franciscan monastery. In 1400 it expanded by arranging five altars inside, two of which were completely re-decorated, and in some preserved medieval frescoes. In 1500, was attached Chapel of the Immaculate Conception. With the advent of the city of Napoleon's French monastery was abolished. And only in 1839 the church reopened. In 1928 here allowed to return, and the monks.
Another Gothic structure, but which took a significant restructuring during the baroque church of Santa Maria del Carmine.
temple was built in the XIV century, during the reign of the house of Visconti, commissioned by the Carmelite brothers so that it exactly fit with the founded in 1348 the monastery. C this time, keep the two side walls, which are and have a gothic look. And this is strange, considering that to the XV century in Italy had already marched and won the Renaissance. In the middle of VII century, the temple was rebuilt, from which acquired, and the features of the Baroque.
Inside the church is wide:
three naves, the central colonnade in the pseudo-medieval Corinthian style. If negotiate a work of art that are inside, it is worth paying attention to the third chapel to the right of entry Averoldi (Averoldi), decorated with a cycle of frescoes by Vincenzo Foppa of . Painting of the first altar on the right belongs Giacomo Palma the younger , in particular good Archangel Michael. Giovanni Maria Morlayter noted in the altar of Mary San Luco creation of Madonna delle Brine.
Murals Foppa:
If this building was rebuilt in the era of Baroque, and now dwell on the churches that were originally built in the style.
Church of Saints Faustino and Jovita.
as this church has the name of San Faustino Maggiore (San Faustino Maggiore), is the largest church building in Brescia after the Duomo Nuovo.
At this point in the IX century, the monastery was founded as you know, it's very standard for top buildings in Brescia. In fact, the relics of saints Faustino and Jovita were brought into the city on May 9, the 806 and placed in temple on the site which is now St. Angelo Merrick (Sant'Angela Merici). In 809 year there was the church of St. Afra (Sant'Afra). Unfortunately, the building was almost completely destroyed during the war, is now the place rather well known fact that she is a cemetery of San Latino. Known evidence of burial of the martyrs in the land starting from the first century AD. Later there were buried not only the martyrs but also the noble citizens. So it is logical that at the beginning of IX century, it is in the temple about this cemetery were brought to the relics of saints. Almost immediately, was founded and the above-mentioned monastery. Three hundred years he lived quietly and peacefully, while in 1123 the abbots the monastery suddenly began to write letters to the Pope requesting confirmation of ownership rights and privileges for his monastery. Well, when suddenly, I have many times mentioned that this was the time at Brescia observed disorder and the extremely turbulent times.
But back to the history of the church. Monks Pope failure. And from that time monastery was slowly but surely fall into decay, resulting in full for the fall 1341. One hundred years is almost exclusively the church in which relics Saints, everything is kept on the enthusiasm prior.
And there would be no happiness, but in disguise. In 1437 there flare up hostilities between the Sforza in Milan and Venice. City besieged. December 13 was a miracle. In consequence the town was saved, and the townspeople began collecting money for a new church in honor of helpers and protectors of Holies Faustino and Jovita. However, a major project almost immediately begins to decelerate on the economic and political reasons. And delay is almost two hundred years. Construction of San Faustino Maggiore, the one that we see today began already in 1621.
architectural structure of the church entirely belongs to the first half of the seventeenth century, but after a fire in 1743 has undergone restructuring choirs.
facade of Dzhezeppe Canton was designed and built in 1699, finishing his ended in 1711.
Inside the nave of Giandomenico Tiepolo painted, he worked after the fire. In an amicable way, here must reprint the entire book, this in-/outputs book, but for some reason, I personally think that should just come and look, well, sinking into the details of fine art, limited historical.
Special value in Brescia is also the church of San Giovanni, the coverage of 400 - 402 per year. Despite the fact that the official time of illumination of the temple is named V century, however, mention church on this site meets and from earlier sources.
. Naprimer.imenno in this temple at the end of IV century, was elected bishop of Brescia San Gaudenzio. But the description of the building is only the beginning of V century, it represents a large facility in five passes. But this building was permitted by the barbarians, but as soon as terms in its place was built a new-church of San Giovanni. In 1173 the temple was built hospital. Despite the fires, the life of the temple can be considered fairly undisturbed, at least in comparison with others. Which allowed to accumulate inside a noticeable number of works of art.
I think I'll pause ... What then return to civilian buildings, castles, and a heap of all, what is not said ...
