The Church of San Rocco is a Catholic parish church located in Lodi, in the Borgo Adda neighborhood, near the Napoleon Bonaparte Bridge. In ancient times, Lodi had four churches dedicated to San Rocco, each positioned at the city gates to protect against plagues. In the 17th century, the destruction of the extramural villages left only the Church of San Rocco standing, located outside Porta d'Adda. At the beginning of the 20th century, the church proved too small and in poor condition. The parish priest, Father Ponzoni, proposed demolishing it and building a new, larger church. The project was approved in 1906 by the city council, which also decided to demolish the adjacent Porta d'Adda arch. The cornerstone of the new church was laid on May 31, 1909. Designed in the Romanesque Revival style by Milanese architect Cecilio Arpesani (a design similar to his other work, the Basilica of Sant'Agostino in Milan), it was completed and consecrated on May 28, 1911. The bell tower, initially only half-built, was completed and inaugurated on September 25, 1937. It houses an old clock from the Lodi Cathedral dating back to 1787, and at its base, a plaque commemorates the fallen of the Ethiopian War and the proclamation of the Empire.

The Lodi bridge or Napoleon Bonaparte Bridge is made up of eight masonry arches built in 1864. It was supposed to replace the ancient wooden bridge, destroyed by fire in 1859. The bridge was dedicated to Bonaparte because on 10 May 1796 Napoleon fought there against the Austrian army, in what remained in history as the battle of the Lodi bridge.
