Santa Giulia, Brescia: Museum and Archaeological Area

The Santa Giulia Museum is the main museum of Brescia, located at via dei Musei 81/b, along the ancient decumanus maximus of Roman Brixia. It is housed in the monastery of Santa Giulia, built by King Desiderius in the Lombard period and variously enlarged and altered over more than a thousand years of history.

The area beneath the museum is rich in archaeological remains from various periods, mostly from Roman times and excellently preserved, in particular the Domus dell'Ortaglia. All the structures of the old monastery are part of the museum, including the church of Santa Maria in Solario, the nuns' choir and the church of Santa Giulia.

The museum holds thousands of objects and works of art ranging from the Bronze Age to the 19th century, mainly from the city and the province of Brescia, making it a true city museum whose themes focus mainly on the history of Brescia and its territory. Among its many works of art, the most notable are the Winged Victory, the Cross of Desiderius, the Lipsanotheca and the "Collecting and Applied Arts" section, which holds all the private collections donated to the museum between the 18th and 19th centuries.
