Iseo

The town extends along the southern shore of Lake Iseo at 186 meters elevation, surrounded by Provaglio d'Iseo, Sulzano, Polaveno, and Paratico communes.

The Oldofredi Castle, constructed between the 11th and 12th centuries, features square corner towers and two-meter-thick walls that withstood conflicts through medieval times.

The Sanctuary of Our Lady of the Snow, built in 1655, contains notable frescoes by Pietro Brigoli and stands on the former site of Saint Stephen church.

Visitors can reach Iseo via hourly trains from Brescia, or by taking a coach from Bergamo-Orio al Serio International Airport to Brescia and then connecting to Iseo.

The Piazza Garibaldi displays the first monument dedicated to Giuseppe Garibaldi without his horse, alongside the neoclassical Vantini Palace that houses the town hall.
