Following on from my post of the Brescia Loggia at night, here are some photos taken this morning showing the facade, detail of the upper floor and roof, ground floor arch with rondels featuring Roman emperors in spandrels and detail of an upper floor pilaster.

La Loggia, Brescia, Italy: Construction began in 1492, 65 years into Venetian control of the city, and was completed in the mid-1560s. Roof reconstructed in 1913 to match original lost in late 16th century fire.
