Cidneo, Summit in Brescia, Italy
The Cidneo hill rises 210 meters above Brescia, forming part of the Prealpi Bresciane mountain range with limestone formations and Mediterranean vegetation.
The strategic position of Cidneo hill made it a crucial defensive location through centuries, leading to the construction of fortifications by different ruling powers.
The hill contains two museums within its castle walls: the Luigi Marzoli Arms Museum and the Museum of the Risorgimento Lioness of Italy.
Multiple walking paths lead to the summit from different points in Brescia, with the main entrance located near Via Castello in the city center.
The Prisoners Tower and Mirabella Tower on Cidneo hill provide views extending from the Ronchi slopes to the Apennines and the Alps.
