| Duomo Vecchio, Brescia |
Built at the end of the 11th century on the ruins of another church, the Duomo Vecchio - Old Cathedral - is an important example of a Romanesque round church. Its central block is formed of two stone cylinders, placed one on top of the other; the lower one still has its original doorways, which are lower than the modern day street level. Located next to the Duomo Nuovo - New Cathedral - its interior features a circular ambulatory and a graceful domed roof.
