The Pescherie di Giulio Romano (also known as the Loggia of Giulio Romano) is a historic building located in Mantova, Italy. It was built in 1536 by Giulio Romano, an architect of Palazzo Te, and was intended for the use of the public to buy fish. The building consists of two porticos with round arches characteristic of Giulio's design, above which lies an attic with rectangular windows between soaring classical columns. The Pescherie were situated between two medieval bridges: the bridge of San Silvestro and the Rio, a river which flows through the city from Lake Superiore to Lake Inferiore. Both the Pescherie and the Beccherie, a macello built between the Pescherie and San Silvestro bridges in the same time period, were deconstructed in the 19th century, however part of its column remains as a remnant to Giovanni Romano's exquisite designs. Thus, the Pescherie offers a unique glimpse into the history of Renaissance Mantova - recognizable due to its beautiful architecture and impressive setting!
