Culture and architectural history in Verolanuova

Castel Merlino dates back to the late 12th century. At the beginning of the feudal rule of the Counts of Gambara, it was their first residence. The building features a deep moat, sloping masonry and a profiled brick string course.

The churches also take you through different periods. Chiesa di San Rocco was built in the 15th century and remodeled in the Baroque style at the beginning of the 18th century. Chiesa di Sant'Anna contains an altar dedicated to Blessed Paola Gambara Costa; it also houses a painting by Santo Cattaneo. According to some documents, Chiesa di San Donnino already existed in 1194 next to the Benedictine convent of S. Donnino, which was under the authority of Badia di Leno.

In Cadignano, Palazzo Maggi is a significant architectural complex. It contains frescoes by Lattanzio Gambara, created around 1560. One tower of Palazzo Maggi has an arcade offering views of the landscape and the wooded area along the Strone. This means the palazzo complements the religious and fortified architecture with a place where architecture and landscape can be viewed together directly.

Mobility and planning suitable accommodation

Daily bus services connect Verolanuova with Brescia and the surrounding municipalities. The town is also located on the Brescia–Cremona railway line and has the Stazione di Verolanuova railway station. When choosing a holiday apartment or other accommodation, you can incorporate these existing bus and rail connections into your personal excursion planning. Depending on your focus, this allows you to orient your stay more toward historic sites, the circular route around the center or the landscape along the Strone.
