City in the province of Cremona which has one of the most complete and impressive city walls in Lombardy. The sixteenth-century walls entirely surround the historic center on both banks of the Adda river: a defensive complex approximately 2 km long, which can be visited by the public, which presents an impressive sequence of internal environments (the casemates) and underground and external routes.

The walls and towers of Pizzighettone (Cremona) constitute one of the best-preserved and most significant walled circuits in Northern Italy. This imposing military fortress, lapped by the Adda river, rises to a height of about 12 meters and has a thickness that reaches 4 meters in some places. Its uniqueness lies in the presence of "casemates", a continuous series of internal rooms that are entirely covered and communicate with each other.
