Santa Maria dei Miracoli is a small church with an outsized facade, all pale marble, carved ornament, and Renaissance confidence. In a city with Roman ruins and broad piazzas, it rewards the traveler who slows down for detail.
The exterior is the main event, though the interior is worth a look if open. It fits naturally into a walk through central Brescia, especially between Piazza della Loggia, the old cathedral group, and the shopping streets.
