Church of Santa Giulia, Renaissance church in Brescia, Italy
The Church of Santa Giulia features reused Roman columns, decorated capitals, and a design that follows traditional Renaissance architectural principles with symmetrical layouts.
Built in 1593 by architect Giulio Todeschini, the church became part of a monastery complex that served as residence for women from noble families.
The interior walls display frescoes depicting episodes from Christ's life and Christian martyrs, along with an inscription commemorating King Desiderius.
The church opens daily except Mondays as part of the Santa Giulia Museum, offering guided tours through its archaeological areas and historical sections.
The structure contains terracotta decorations showing grapes and vine leaves, plus Byzantine craftwork integrated into its architectural elements.
