Background
The first permanent settlements in the area where Iseo stands today began in prehistoric times, as confirmed by findings dating back to the Bronze Age found between 1999 and 2000 in the vicinity of Via Per Rovato.
Iseo has been an important port since Roman times and in the Middle Ages it was surrounded by walls.
From the medieval period, Iseo still retains traces of some buildings in the historic center such as the Oldofredi Castle and the remains of the city gates. The lakefront was rearranged in the nineteenth century. The monument to Gabriele Rosa, Italian patriot born in Iseo in via Duomo, of the famous sculptor Ettore Ferrari on the lakefront.
Until the 19th century it was the seat of an important silk and wool industry. At the beginning of the twentieth century, with the extension of the railway line, the port of Iseo lost importance. The country then went through a period of crisis from which it was able to rise again by developing activities related to tourism.
