Brescia - Duomo Vecchio

The "Duomo Vecchio" (aka "Concattedrale invernale di Santa Maria Assunta", "La Rotonda") is a large circular structure erected on the site of a prior basilica in the first half of the 11th century.

At that time the street level lower so today the Duomo Vecchio looks like sunken into the Piazza del Duomo. In 1571 a new entrance was created, but the Baroque portal, seen here, had to be rebuilt after the campanile over it had collapsed in 1703.
