Standing in the historical heart of Brescia, the magnificent ruins of ancient Brixia are one of the most important archaeological sites in northern Italy. Designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2011 as part of “Longobards in Italy: Places of Power (568–774 A.D.), the complex testifies to the prominent role played by the city in Roman times. Situated along the Via Gallica where the Valle Camonica and the Val Trompia meet, between Lake Iseo and Lake Garda, Brescia was in fact one of the peninsula’s main centres, a position further enhanced by its proximity to a vast plain made particularly fertile by the agricultural reforms introduced during the Augustan period.
Inside the archaeological site, which forms part of the city’s urban fabric, the ancient town’s main buildings are still visible today: the Republican Sanctuary, the Capitolium (73 AD), the Roman Theatre (1st–3rd centuries A.D.) and the paved section of the Decumanus Maximus. The site overlooks what is now Piazza del Foro, which still bears traces of the ancient Roman square.
The Capitolium, the city’s main temple, houses one of the most extraordinary sculptures of the classical period: The Winged Victory. This huge bronze statue and a symbol of Brescia is one of the most significant works of Roman art, for its craftsmanship, materials and state of preservation, as well as one of the very few ancient bronze sculptures found in archaeological excavations to have survived to the present day. Brescia Municipality, the Brescia Museums Foundation and the Opificio delle Pietre Dure in Florence worked together on a major project to study, preserve and restore the sculpture. At the end of the process, the work of art was returned to the temple's eastern chamber, where it is now exhibited in a museum setting designed by Spanish architect Juan Navarro Baldeweg.
