Mantova, a Unesco heritage, has ancient Etruscan origins and it is the birthplace of the Latin poet Virgil.
The city reached its splendour not only in the Middle Age but expecially during the long domination of the lords Gonzagas, who designed the city together with some of the greatest artists at the time.
Mantua is known as the "City of the Three Lakes” because the lakes: Laghi di Mezzo, Inferiore, and Superiore, and the Mincio River hugs the city.
Mantova is a city on a human scale where you can walk in narrow streets and lively or silent squares follow one another, but the best attractions not to be missed if you visit the city are:
- Ducal Palace: Once it was the royal residence where the Gonzaga family lived for almost 400 years.
- Castello San Giorgio, one the best preserved castle in all Lombardy, surrounded by a massive moat (fossato) and built over 600 years ago.
- Mantua Cathedral is one of the most iconic buildings in Mantua, and one of the most unlucky one, since there’s been many fires and events which has destroyed it a thousand years ago.
- Piazza Sordello
- Basilica di Sant’Andrea, was built in the 15th Century it took over 300 years to complete!
- The Rotonda di San Lorenzo is another shining example of why Mantua has become a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
- Just outside the ancient centre of Mantua you can find the Palazzo Te. Built by Giulio Romano almost 500 years ago, probably is one of northern Italy’s most beautiful palaces.
Don't forget to taste the Mantuan cuisine!

Una bella città, mi piace molto il Palazzo Te. Ci sono stata 2 settimane fa. Da Mantova si può anche andare a Sabbioneta e visitare il teatro antico. Vale la pena.
