The Church of San Rocco is a Catholic parish church located in Lodi, in the Borgo Adda neighborhood, near the Napoleon Bonaparte Bridge. In ancient times, Lodi had four churches dedicated to San Rocco, each positioned at the city gates to protect against plagues. In the 17th century, the destruction of the extramural villages left only the Church of San Rocco standing, located outside Porta d'Adda. At the beginning of the 20th century, the church proved too small and in poor condition. The parish priest, Father Ponzoni, proposed demolishing it and building a new, larger church. The project was approved in 1906 by the city council, which also decided to demolish the adjacent Porta d'Adda arch. The cornerstone of the new church was laid on May 31, 1909. Designed in the Romanesque Revival style by Milanese architect Cecilio Arpesani (a design similar to his other work, the Basilica of Sant'Agostino in Milan), it was completed and consecrated on May 28, 1911. The bell tower, initially only half-built, was completed and inaugurated on September 25, 1937. It houses an old clock from the Lodi Cathedral dating back to 1787, and at its base, a plaque commemorates the fallen of the Ethiopian War and the proclamation of the Empire.

On April 25, 2025, the cycle path that runs alongside the Adda was interrupted by the fall of a large tree, just 50 meters before it ended, to leave the zeal good persico of the nature trail and climb the old Adda bridge. We passed but with great difficulty

old bridge but still passable by bike

Beautiful panoramic point and useful passage for passing from one bank of the Adda to the other avoiding the traffic of the bridge on the provincial road

nice square with bars and restaurants

I went there with both the city bike and the folding one with 20 wheels Of course, you can access it by bringing your bikes. If the problem is the bridge, don't be discouraged and don't go over the paullese with your bikes, that's what I mean

The church of San Rocco is a Catholic parish church in the Italian city of Lodi, located in the district of Borgo Adda, near the Napoleon Bonaparte bridge.

This monumental complex was born as a defensive bulwark. Towards the end of 1300, it lost its military function to become a manor house within the land purchased by the Brivios, nobles of Germanic origin whose wealth came from agricultural activities. The name of Rocca derives from the fact that originally the building was one of the defensive bulwarks erected along the Milan - Lodi road in the early Middle Ages, at the time of the wars that pitted the Municipality of Milan against the Municipality of Lodi. The current building was built in 1600 by the Brivio marquises on the ruins of the pre-existing castle. It was at the center of important war episodes, such as the Battle of Marignano in 1515 and in 1859, when on 8 June Napoleon III and Vittorio Emanuele II entered Milan victorious, defeating the Austrians. From an architectural point of view it is a baroque palace built with a rather elaborate scheme: the north-west part houses a noble chapel, rich in typically seventeenth-century stucco and gilding. The entrance has a large portal with a beautifully crafted wrought iron gate, the work of a craftsman from Melegnano from the 1700s, rich in scrolls and arabesques. Since 1996 it has been public property and hosts painting exhibitions, classical music concerts and conferences of national importance in its halls with frescoed ceilings and large fireplaces.
