Local attractions

In the middle of the journey among the spacious agricultural plains and woodlands that pursue the banks of the river Adda, Lodi is a city to be discovered, where its past is famous for Frederick Barbarossa and its present bears the name of architect Renzo Piano. The Emperor re-founded it in 1158, after it had been completely demolished by the Milanese.
The Civic Temple of St. Maria Incoronata was desired by local citizens in 1487 in order to commemorate a miracle. This is the authentic landmark of the city. Inside, among gildings and frescoes, the Temple hosts works dating back to between the 15th century and the 19th century. Only a 15-minute walk from the station, in the former-Sicc area, there is the “Cattedrale Vegetale” (Tree Cathedral), the work that Giuliano Mauri wished to leave as a legacy to his homeland: Inside the 108 18-metre tall wooden columns, just as many young oak trees are hosted. A date to be saved in your agenda is the Ethic Photography Festival in October and the autumn Gastronomic Event of the Lodi area.
