The small church dedicated to Saint Lucy is one of the oldest in Cremona. It has Romanesque foundations and was probably built around 1120, as evidenced by some surviving elements, such as the apse, typical of Cremona's Romanesque style. The building has a simple terracotta facade. Inside, there are fragments of frescoes from the late thirteenth century—part of the church's primitive decoration—a late Gothic apse basin, and altarpieces from the second half of the eighteenth century. Unfortunately, it appears very neglected. :-(

The originally painted statue is located on the right side of the cathedral, next to the Torrazzo. The statue depicts Giovanni Baldesio, a medieval figure from Cremona, also known as "Zanén de la Bàla" (Zaneen Baldesio with the Three Balls). He dared to challenge Henry IV of the Franks, son of Emperor Henry III, to exempt Cremona from an annual tax consisting of a five-kilogram gold ball. He won the challenge; the city was freed from the burden and became a free commune. This heroic feat was also immortalized in the city's coat of arms. https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statua_di_Giovanni_Baldesio#

The historic city of Cremona in Lombardy is dominated by a monumental bell tower, the Torrazzo. At 112 meters tall, it is the tallest brick bell tower in Europe and one of the most impressive medieval structures in Italy. The Torrazzo was built gradually between the 13th and 14th centuries as part of the cathedral complex. Its brick construction testifies to both the technical ingenuity of medieval builders and the city's ambition to express its power and importance. In 1583, a unique astronomical clock was added to the tower, which still fascinates with its accuracy. Climbing the Torrazzo is a spiritual journey from earth to heaven, and it is not difficult to ascend the 502 steps that lead to the final terrace to enjoy a breathtaking 360° panorama. The visit includes a stop in the rooms dedicated to the study of time and astronomy in the new Vertical Museum, which was inaugurated in November 2018. https://www.cattedraledicremona.it/torrazzo-interno/?lang=de
