The Church of San Pietro (Shrine of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart), in the nearby village of Gera, dating back to the 11th century, bears witness to the various eras the village has gone through and still retains a sacred and fascinating atmosphere today. At first glance, its colorful façade is striking, dominated by mosaics on a golden background with the images of saints and classic religious scenes, the creation of which is due to the work of Don Pietro Mizzi after the Second World War. Although the structure of the Church of San Pietro is rather classic, of Romanesque layout, it is the entire façade that makes it unique in its kind in Italy. Also on the outside, the spire bell tower makes a beautiful display, while inside you can admire frescoes from different periods, from the oldest of the Lombard school to the most recent of the 17th century.

On the banks of the Adda at Pizzighettone, stands a square tower which represents the only remnant of an ancient castle, built in the municipal era by the Cremonese to defend the border towards Lodi.

Small town with castle towers and this particular church, truly unique among paintings, mosaics and various works that have made it truly special over time.
