Worth seeing with a guided tour offered by the tourist office

Church of San Pietro (Shrine of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart) in the nearby village of Gera, an 18th-century Marian sanctuary entirely covered in marble and mosaics to celebrate the figure of the Virgin, present both inside and outside at the initiative of the priest Pietro Mizzi (parish priest of Pizzighettone until 1999) who dedicated his entire life to its embellishment.

must see

The trail, which runs alongside the Canale Civico Cremonese, is straight and uneven, running through fields and rows of vines on a dirt surface. Stable and even, it's a perfect stretch for gravel and touring bikes.

Pizzighettone boasts one of the best-preserved city walls in Lombardy. Built in the Middle Ages and then reinforced during the Spanish era, they still surround a large portion of the historic center along the banks of the Adda River. The casemates and internal walkways allow you to imagine military life in the past, when the village was a strategic garrison between Milan and Cremona. Strolling around the walls, you can admire towers, bastions, and perfectly restored sections.

Very beautiful, almost entirely shaded and cool. In some places, the vegetation is very lush, but there are alternative routes. As always, there are the inevitable fallen tree trunks along the way. One in particular is 15 cm in diameter, but you can climb over it. Have a good trip!

Always a happy presence and a passage in many of our tours, I think it is one of the most photographed highlights
