Palazzolo sull'Oglio, Industrial commune in Province of Brescia, Italy
Palazzolo sull'Oglio is a town in the Province of Brescia, located south of Lake Iseo in northern Italy's plains. The Oglio River runs through the municipality, which sits near the border with the Province of Bergamo.
The settlement first appears in written records around 830 as a small rural community in the valley. During the 1800s it transformed into an industrial powerhouse for textile production, gaining the nickname Manchester of Italy.
The Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta and several historic villas shape how the town looks and feels to visitors. Walking through the centro, you notice how these buildings anchor daily life and community identity.
The town center is best explored on foot, with clear streets making it easy to navigate between the main buildings and squares. A local train station connects to regional lines, and the A4 motorway offers straightforward access if you're driving.
The Torre del Popolo, a distinctive round tower built between 1813 and 1830, stands at about 85 meters tall and is considered one of Italy's tallest towers of its kind. This uncommon structure was erected during the early industrial expansion of the region.
