Tower of an ancient castle, built in the municipal era by the Cremonese to defend the border towards Lodi.
A square tower crowned by battlements, in the spring of 1525, for about fifty days, it was the prison of the King of France Francis I, captured by the Spanish in the battle of Pavia.
In the rooms on the ground floor, fragments of frescoes dating back to the early periods of the castle are preserved. The second floor room, where according to tradition the "forced stay" of the King of France took place, houses some relics: a copy of the king's armour, a chest and various paintings on the walls.

Pizzighettone Walls

Highlight • Historical Site

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.
