The Rocca Sforzesca di Soncino, located in Soncino, in Lombardy, is one of the most typical Lombard fortresses in the Cremona area, built between 1473 and 1475 and having a fundamental role in the defense of the area until 1536.
The grandeur of the walls strikes the visitor who arrives in Soncino. It is the main feature of the village: already in a 15th century drawing it appears well defended by the walls and the fortress, in the center of the Lombard plain.
