Palazzo Martinengo Palatini

Three sections of the palace facade feature stone pilasters, string courses, and an ionic order main gate decorated with festoons and lion heads.

Count Teofilo III Martinengo initiated construction in 1672 on the site of a fourteenth-century residence, with completion occurring at the start of the 1700s.

The Apollo Hall contains ceiling paintings by Giulio Quaglio depicting the Reception of Hercules and six historical scenes about Alexander the Great.

The palace currently serves as the headquarters of the University of Brescia, housing administrative offices and the Rector's department since 2000.

A medieval tower stands at the northwestern corner as the last remaining structure from the original Gambara family estate outside Roman walls.
