Tips from the Community
Pontevico is an Italian municipality of about 7,150 inhabitants located at the southern end of the province of Brescia, in Lombardy. The village stands in a historically strategic position along the Oglio river, which marks the natural border with the province of Cremona. The name derives from the Latin Pons Vici, which literally means "bridge of the village". The municipal territory is predominantly flat and includes the hamlets of Bettegno, Campazzo, Chiesuola and Toro. Local economy is historically divided between a strong agricultural vocation and an industrial textile development linked to the Bassa Bresciana district. The center is about 32 kilometers from the provincial capital Brescia and is easily reachable by car via the A21 motorway or by the Brescia-Cremona railway line.

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.

Nestled in the hills of Val d’Arda, which in prehistoric times were covered by the sea and of which traces remain in numerous fossils, Castell’Arquato stands within the Parco Regionale del Piacenziano, which takes its name from this historical period. An Orange Flag of the Touring Club Italiano, the medieval village, of rare beauty and great scenic impact, is capable of fascinating from afar, with its profile dominating the entire valley, as well as up close, with its narrow streets and its medieval stone houses, perfectly preserved and subject to constant restoration.

A wonderful stop. Both the church and the baptistery were open, and we were able to enter for a visit. It's worth a detour if you're in the area.

Splendid church with a Romanesque and Gothic layout, but with later Renaissance and Baroque works inside.
