Description

The sanctuary of Minerva is an archaeological area corresponding to a Roman temple; it is located in Breno in the locality of Spinera and stands on a rocky spur on the banks of the river Oglio.Discovered in 1986 and opened to the public in 2007, the Sanctuary of Minerva is an exceptional archaeological park where the beauty and natural sacredness of the place combine with the monumentality of the Roman intervention preserved in a clearly legible way in the structures. Under the watchful eye of Minerva the visitor can retrace, as two thousand years ago, the spaces of worship and ritual at the foot of the hill from which the sacred water flowed.
