Itinerary

1. Piazza Sordello
Mantua is a little breathtaking gem; little known or barely remembered before, loved afterwards. The beauty of Mantua, however, is not only in its magnificent buildings but also in the beautiful squares and the charming alleys, lined with arcades and pretty houses. Mantua is small but spectacular and surrounded by beautiful natural environment where art, nature, cultural heritage, great food and overall good living aim for making life sweeter. The city centre tour starts in Sordello Square. Sordello Square is a huge square surronded by some of the most important monuments of the city like the Ducal Palace, the Cathedral and the Bishop's seat. From Sordello Square we can access some squares and gardens beloging to the Ducal Palace like Piazza Castello, Piazza Santa Barbara, Piazza Paccagnini and Piazza Pallone
Duration: 50 mins
2. Piazza Broletto
Broletto Square, the political square in medieval times, is surrounded by some communal buildings built in the 13th century like Palazzo del Podesta and Palazzo del Massaro. The square was also the place for execution, it is still possible to see the four iron rings used for torturing people.

Piazza delle Erbe, bordered by the ancient Palazzo del Podesta to the north and the Palazzo della Ragione (court of justice) to the east, takes its name from the medieval fruit and vegetable market.
