On the outside it's just another old castle, but on the inside there's a very interesting collection of paintings from early christianity, and it was particulary nice to see the way the style differs from that of western europe of the time, in that it indeed more vivid in color and expressions.

The building itself is most impressive and the art collection is superb. If you approach from the north, you get to it over the ancient bridge. More

There's a lot to see here but the visit was marred by the very rude staff who talked loudly, gathered in doorways blocking entrance and were simply rude at times. It took the edge off some wonderful pictures and the building itself is beautifully positioned on the Adige and a fine sight. More

Good views of the river and castel and bridge. However if you do not like paintings and sculpture, its probably not that interesting. More
