Mantua City of Art and Culture

Whoever arrives in Mantua is struck by its timeless charm, its unique and welcoming atmosphere. A city that takes your breath away when you admire it from the banks of the lakes. From here it appears as if suspended over the water, the protagonist of an almost surreal landscape, made of history, art and nature. Mantua is not made to be visited quickly. The squares, the alleys, the cobblestones invite the visitor to slowly admire every monument and every historic building in this city, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site together with nearby Sabbioneta.

In Mantua, history, art and culture are inexorably intertwined everywhere. And all around an environment of inestimable naturalistic value. Unique and magical places that make Mantua a simply marvellous city.
