Caravaggio

The town extends across fertile plains at 111 meters above sea level, surrounded by agricultural fields and connected to neighboring municipalities of Bariano and Treviglio.

The medieval settlement gained prominence through its strategic position between Milan and Bergamo, leading to the construction of the Church of San Fermo e Rustico in the 13th century.

The Sanctuary of Caravaggio represents the religious heritage of the region, drawing visitors to its 15th-century architecture and religious celebrations throughout the year.

The railway station on the Treviglio-Cremona line provides regular connections to major cities, while local markets offer fresh produce from surrounding farmlands.

The 76-meter bell tower of San Fermo e Rustico stands as the tallest structure in town, marking the skyline since its construction in 1500.
