Traveler reviews
Shahzore Ali
★★★★★3 months agoThe Palazzo della Gran Guardia is a monumental and truly beautiful place located right in the magnificent Piazza Bra. Standing directly across from the famous Arena, this imposing palace with its grand arches and sweeping facade is an architectural masterpiece. It took over 200 years to build, and you can really see the incredible craftsmanship in every detail. Even if you are just passing through the square, it provides a spectacular backdrop for photos. Highly recommended!
