Just to the south of the Capitolium are a few areas to visit Roman remains. The first is right across the street at Via Agostino Gallo 6, at the tourist information office housed at the Palazzo Martinengo Cesaresco Novarino. Housed in the basement and accessible via the tourist office are some remains associated with the forum, decumanus maximus<\/em>, and a bathing complex of Brixia, dating to various periods of imperial era occupation. The remains can be visited during the hours of the tourist office, which seems to be about 10:00 to 17:00. There is no admission charge, but the remains must be visited with a guide. The guide I went with was very insistent about me not being allowed to take pictures, unfortunately, so, little remains to dissect visually. He also didn\u2019t seem to be particularly enthralled with having to take me down there in the first place and so was very impatient to get it all over with. It was an interesting bit of stuff to look at, from what I remember, so it\u2019s unfortunate that the overall experience of that particular visit was so lackluster. Definitely worth checking out, if only to take a quick peak.<\/p>\n
