Iseo, Medieval town on Lake Iseo, Province of Brescia, Italy
Iseo is a town situated on the southern shore of the lake bearing its name in the Province of Brescia, Lombardy. The settlement spreads across 186 meters of elevation and sits among neighboring communes that share the lakeshore.
The Oldofredi Castle dates to the 11th and 12th centuries, displaying square corner towers and thick defensive walls. The fortress endured repeated conflicts and shaped the town's appearance for centuries.
The Sanctuary of Our Lady of the Snow shapes religious life in the town, with frescoes that visitors can see inside the church. People gather here for worship and pilgrimages, making it a center of faith for the local community.
The town is easily reached by hourly trains from Brescia or by coach connections from Bergamo-Orio al Serio International Airport to Brescia. Check schedules in advance since service frequency can vary depending on the day and time of travel.
Piazza Garibaldi holds an unusual monument to Giuseppe Garibaldi shown without his horse, a rare depiction among the many statues erected to him. Nearby stands the neoclassical Vantini Palace, which now serves as the town hall.
