We walked into Mantova across this causeway which divides two of the three lakes which surround the town.

There is a market in town on Thursdays.

Mantova Cathedral - The Duomo - is situated in the main square, Piazza Sordello.

It is more or less what you would expect inside.

On the other side of the square is the Ducal Palace.

It has a large courtyard with gardens.

Piazza Sordello interconnects to Piazza Brolleto.

In Piazza Brodello the Palazzo della Regione has an interesting tower.

Here's a close up of the clock/calender on the face of the tower.

Piazza Brolleto interconnects to Piazza dell Erbe.

Piazza dell Erbe contains this interesting round church called not surprisingly the Rotonda.

Here's a view inside.

This view looks back towards the Duomo from Piazza Brolleto.

View from Mantova towards the lakes. The causeway we came over is on the right.

Later in the day we visited Grazie which is just a few kilometres west of Mantova. Ann went into the church. She thought it rather strange. Amongst other things there is a stuffed crocodile hanging from the roof.

We then made a short journey north to the city of Verona where we are staying tonight.
