Piazza Sordello, Mantua

The Ducal Palace of Mantua, also known as the Gonzaga palace, is one of the main historic buildings in the city.
Since 1308 it has been the official residence of the lords of Mantua, the Bonacolsi, and therefore the main residence of the Gonzagas, lords, marquises and finally dukes of the Virgilian city.
It housed the dominant Gonzaga of the time, his wife, his legitimate eldest son and other legitimate children up to the age of majority as well as important guests.
It assumed the name of Palazzo Reale during the Austrian domination starting from the reign of Maria Theresa of Austria .

The city is surrounded by several lakes, some of which you drive along to get to the city center. Nice location, interesting city.

The best stage finish that can be expected. Piazza Sordello and the Ducal Palace of Mantua
