Tower of an ancient castle, built in the municipal era by the Cremonese to defend the border towards Lodi.
A square tower crowned by battlements, in the spring of 1525, for about fifty days, it was the prison of the King of France Francis I, captured by the Spanish in the battle of Pavia.
In the rooms on the ground floor, fragments of frescoes dating back to the early periods of the castle are preserved. The second floor room, where according to tradition the "forced stay" of the King of France took place, houses some relics: a copy of the king's armour, a chest and various paintings on the walls.translated by
