Schools, families, adults, groups: the speleological association offers guided tours led by expert guides to the most hidden corners of Brescia’s Castle. The itineraries are exciting but easy, suitable for children too.

The initiative is called “Discover the secrets of the Castle” and has a variety of itineraries to choose from: the oldest part, water tanks, inside the bastions, and so on. Thanks to the association, you will be able to see parts of Brescia’s castle which are typically not open to the public. Competent guides will entertain you with interesting narrations. It will be a memorable journey through the history of this great city monument.

Associazione Speleologica Brescia has a longstanding commitment to explore and promote the underground beauties of Brescia and its province. At the moment, almost 1,000 grottos were counted and explored in the province of Brescia. Some can only be accessed if accompanied by expert speleologists. For more information on this activity, visit the official website of ASB.
