Scavi archeologici di Palazzo Martinengo Cesaresco Novarino

The excavation area beneath Palazzo Martinengo reveals multiple layers of ancient structures, including Roman residential buildings and medieval foundations.

The palace construction began in 1663, replacing a 15th-century building, and the archaeological findings beneath it date back to the 5th century BC.

The underground exhibition space contains five distinct rooms that present artifacts and structural remains from different periods of Brescia's development.

The site opens to visitors through guided tours, with access points from both Via Musei for provincial offices and Piazza del Foro for museum entry.

The excavation site contains a preserved Renaissance fountain in the internal courtyard, along with eagles symbolizing the Martinengo family on the portal.
