How to get around
What see
- Bonoris Castle, to Montichiari.
- Villa Fenaroli, to Seniga. Built towards the end of the seventeenth century on a project by the architect Gaspare Turbini, the Villa Fenaroli shows the noble facade towards the bank of the Oglio river and a park sloping down towards the river with an Italian garden, with centuries-old plants and a pond of romantic taste. The entrance portal has a majestic appearance and is equipped with Ionic columns that support the balustrade adorned with high obelisks. It is a subsequent construction to the Palazzo, which was built by the Poncarali family, which was one of the most powerful and ancient families in Brescia.
The protruding parts are the transformation of the towers of an ancient castle, probably the fortress on the river that made Seniga a military outpost of the Contado of Brescia first, then of the Republic of Venice. The building is also part of a large rural courtyard.
- Martinengo Castle, to Villachiara. It is one of the many castles that the Martinengos built on this plain near the left bank of the Oglio. Of fourteenth-century origin, it now appears as a noble residence conferred on it by subsequent renovations, the last of which date back to the sixteenth century.
