サントステファノロディジャーノのおすすめライド

Worth seeing with a guided tour offered by the tourist office

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.

Splendid example of Romanesque architecture with terracotta bricks.

Pizzighettone is an ideal starting point for exploring both the banks of the Adda and for heading to Cremona along the cycle path of the Milan-Cremona canal

The tower is located near the Trento and Trieste bridge on the Adda river

Pizzighettone...and its Walls

This square used to be the political and commercial center of Piacenza. It owes its name to two masterpieces by Francesco Mochi (1580-1654), the Baroque equestrian statues** of Dukes Alexander and Ranuccio I Farnese. The gigantic structure that towers above the square is the Gotico**, the former town hall.
