 "Nostril" Fountain by deecat The great thing about Mantova (Mantua) is that if you just walk, you will discover many hidden "gems" such as the one in the picture of the grotesque fountain. What a "hoot" When we stumbled upon it, we could not believe that the water was coming out of the nostrils. The reason that I even noticed this clever fountain was because a local girl was filling up a jug with the water from this fountain, and I glanced at her and then the source of the water. "For heaven's sake", I thought. Funny, but it is these small, insignificant moments that I remember. It's a flat fountain against a wall of a tower. Other such fountains abound in the city as well as statues, unusual balconies, and wonderful heavy wooden doors. It's just a joy to discover some new "item" each day.
Walking in this town of culture, art, history, and architure is a delightful activity. You just never know what you are going to find next. Be sure to CLICK TO ENLARGE Leave a Comment

by prleprle Mantova has rich cultural and artistic heritage. It’s a town of famous Countess Matilde di Canossa, Isabella d’Este, Publio Virgilio Marone, Andrea Mantegne and others. Old part of town has a lot of interesting buildings erected during last 10 centuries.
Didn’t remember purpose of this modern building on the photo or the name of architect but still remember sharp arches and all decoration on it. Leave a Comment

This is a little city with all attraction concentrated in small central area of the old town= 1/4-1/8 of it inside walls. So, you don't need more than 3-4 hour to view them all. Take this consideration in account while planning your trip, particularly if you go by gar. The city does not worth more than half a day.
