Canon EOS 250D | 29mm | 1/800s | f/4 | ISO 100 Taken on 22/05/2021. Dotted around the 'Pianura Padana' (the Po Valley) are dozens of castles to explore. One of the most famous in the Lombardy region is that of Soncino. With its four stout towers, crenellations, moat and drawbridge, the Rocca of Soncino is remarkably intact. Walk around the moat and you can almost see the Rocca of Soncino under siege by some enemy of Milan's Sforza clan, which had it built on the site of a more rudimentary fort in 1473. Parts of the later Venetian city walls, as Venice was in control for a brief decade from 1499, remain intact too. 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲: Soncino can be reached by bus from Crema (line K501 'Autoguidovie'). Crema itself is reachable by train from Cremona and Treviglio. ______________________________________ #Soncino #Lombardy #InLombardia #BorghiItaliani #CastelliItaliani #VisitLombardia #VisitItaly #DiscoverItaly #Italia #Italy #LoveTravel #Living_Destinations #TravelAndLeisure #Raw_Italy #NoFilter #BestDestinations #BellaItalia #ItalyTourism #TurismoItalia #LombardiaDaScoprire #LombardiaDaVedere #IgersLombardia #YallersItalia #BorghidItalia #BorghiPiùBellidItalia #Italia_Mania #Italia_Da_Scoprire #ItaliaSegreta #ItalyInspired #ClickFor_Italia (at Soncino, Italy) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQoaaZflrit/?utm_medium=tumblr
