Mantua will astonish you with the suggestive Palazzo Te, commissioned by Federico II Gonzaga and frescoed in its interiors at the  Camera di Amore e Psiche or the Sala dei Giganti.

Head to Piazza Sordello, the heart of ancient and modern Mantuan life. Here you have the opportunity of visiting monuments such as the Cathedral, the Palazzo Ducale, the Domus Magna with its paintings and tapestries and Torre della Gabbia.

When it comes to religious monuments in Lombardy, remember the  Rotonda di San Lorenzo and the Temple of San Sebastiano, designed by Leon Battista Alberti.
