Duomo Vecchio, Brescia

I love Italian Romanesque architecture, and this is one of the best examples of that. The Duomo Vecchio or Old Cathedral is an 11th century building in Brescia, Italy. This building is completely original except for the entrance portal which was added on in the late 17th century. The church also houses a crypt constructed with Roman spolia, which is very impressive. I sat at the caffe in front of the church, so luckily I got to draw and paint comfortably, which as a traveling artist is a luxury.
