It is the most ancient church in the city. It is now sunk below the level of the Piazza della Erbe. It probably stands on the site of a Roman temple that was dedicated to the goddess Venus.
It was built during the reign of the Canossa family in the late 11th century. Inspired by the Holy Sepulchre church in Jerusalem and dedicated to the martyr St. Lawrence, it has a central plan and has maintained ancient features like the matronaeum (loggia for female faithful) and frescoes of the Byzantine school from the 11th-12th century. Another fresco fragment in the apse, portraying the Martyrdom of St. Lawrence, dates to the 15th century. The construction, according to the Lombard tradition, is in bricks, but has two columns and other details in marble, coming from ancient edifices.5 minutes -Admission Ticket Not Included2: Basilica di Sant'Andrea di MantovaThe Basilica of Sant'Andrea is a Roman Catholic co-cathedral and minor basilica in Mantua. It is one of the major works of 15th-century Renaissance architecture in Northern Italy. Commissioned by Ludovico III Gonzaga, the church was begun in 1472 according to designs by Leon Battista Alberti on a site occupied by a Benedictine monastery, of which the bell tower (1414) remains. The building, however, was only finished 328 years later. Though later changes and expansions altered Alberti's design, the church is still considered to be one of Alberti's most complete works. It looms over the Piazza Mantegna.20 minutes -Admission Ticket Free3: Duomo - Cattedrale di San PietroMantua Cathedral (Italian: Cattedrale di San Pietro apostolo; Duomo di Mantova) in Mantua, is a Roman Catholic cathedral dedicated to Saint Peter. It is the seat of the Bishop of Mantua.20 minutes -Admission Ticket Free4: Piazza delle ErbeThis is perhaps even more the centre of Mantova than Piazza Sordello. There are a string of small eateries on both sides, including the lovely arcade at the back of the Basilica Sant' Andrea, plus the unusual church, Rotonda di San Lorenzo.20 minutes -Admission Ticket Free5: Palazzo DucaleThe Palazzo Ducale di Mantova ("Ducal Palace") is a group of buildings in Mantua, built between the 14th and the 17th century mainly by the noble family of Gonzaga as their royal residence in the capital of their Duchy. The buildings are connected by corridors and galleries and are enriched by inner courts and wide gardens. The complex includes some 500 rooms and occupies an area of c. 34,000 m². Although most famous for Mantegna's frescos in the Camera degli Sposi (Wedding Room), they have many other very significant architectural and painted elements.
The Gonzaga family lived in the palace from 1328 to 1707, when the dynasty died out. Subsequently, the buildings saw a sharp decline, which was halted in the 20th century with a continuing process of restoration and the designation of the area as museum. In 1998, a hidden room was discovered by Palace scholars, led by musicologist Paula Bezzutti. The room is thought to have been used for performances of Monteverdi's music in the late 16th century.20 minutes -Admission Ticket Free6: Piazza BrolettoThe square, in the municipal era, was the center of public life. On the southern side stands the Palazzo Broletto, built in 1227 by Laudarengo Martinengo, mayor of the city. On the rear facade of the building there is the thirteenth-century statue depicting Virgil in the chair, called in dialect 'la vecia'. On the corner stands the Torre del Broletto (or Torre del Podestà), to which Casa Tortelli is attached. At the center of the square is the 19th century dolphin fountain. On the south side is the Palazzo del Massaro, from the 14th century, inside which there are important frescoes of the fifteenth century from the Pisanello school.5 minutes -Admission Ticket FreeADDITIONAL INFOWheelchair accessibleInfants and small children can ride in a pram or strollerService animals allowedPublic transportation options are available nearbyTransportation options are wheelchair accessibleSuitable for all physical fitness levelsOperates in all weather conditions, please dress appropriatelyNot wheelchair accessibleThis tour/activity will have a maximum of 15 travelersCANCELLATION POLICYFor a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.(For information purpose only - definite start times will show on voucher, once confirmed) -

Palazzo Te Mantova - Tour with Guide Tiziana Portioli
- Type:Cultural and Heritage Tours
- Duration:8 Hours
OVERVIEWArtistic hub in Mantua, that deserves to be suitably explained is Palazzo Te, a suburban villa devoted to the pleasures of leisure. Architect Giulio Romano, as the heir of his great master Raphael, is called from Rome to build and decorate this Renaissance villa between 1525 and 1535, inspired by ancient Roman villas.
Palazzo Te is an exemplary model of the Mannerist style as about architecture and an outstanding example of 16th century Italian painting. The name of the building derives from that of the place where it was built: the island of Tejeto, abbreviated as Te, where mantuan Lords held the ducal stables for the breeding of famous Gonzaga thoroughbred trained for battlefields and tournaments.INCLUDESPrivate tourProfessional guidesEXCLUDESAdmission tickets : .15 adults, .11 over 65, .7 students, family ticket .40Private transportationPalace Te Museum AdmittanceMEETING AND PICKUPMeeting pointDucale PalaceMeeting point at the ticket office of Te Palace.Options and Start timeBasic Tour:01:30 PM, 03:00 PM, 04:30 PM, 09:00 AM, 10:30 AM, 12:00 PMClassic Guided Tour:01:30 PM, 03:00 PM, 04:30 PM, 09:00 AM, 10:30 AM, 12:00 PMIn-depth visit for groups:02:00 PM, 04:30 PM, 09:00 AM, 11:30 AMPrivate In-Depth Visit:02:00 PM, 04:30 PM, 09:00 AM, 11:30 AMEnd pointThis activity ends back at the meeting point.WHAT TO EXPECTThe interior contrasts with the sober exterior for a cycle of frescoes very amazing, inspired by the mythological fables of Ovid and Apuleius, the result of ingenious imagination of Giulio Romano. Among the most evocative rooms in which to focus our attention on: the Hall of Sun, the Hall of Horses and the Hall of Cupid and Psyche to conclude with the most unexpected, the Hall of Giants, where the Titans who rebel against Zeus have to suffer its terrible anger. The impression is that of a giant cartoon full of bright colours! Palazzo Te was first the alcove of love devoted to the Favorita of the Prince, Isabella Boschetti, for a sensual love affair surrounded by green woods and refreshed by waters; later it also became a luxury palace of representation, consecrated to guests of rank as the Emperor Charles V of Habsburg crowning Frederick, as the First Duke of the Gonzaga dynasty in 1530.Duration: 1 hour 30 minutesADDITIONAL INFOPublic transportation options are available nearbyInfants and small children can ride in a pram or strollerTransportation options are wheelchair accessibleSuitable for all physical fitness levelsWheelchair accessibleNot wheelchair accessibleThis tour/activity will have a maximum of 15 travelersCANCELLATION POLICYFor a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.(For information purpose only - definite start times will show on voucher, once confirmed) -
