Lodi, Medieval commune in Lombardy, Italy

The city extends along the western bank of the Adda River, with a central square featuring Gothic and Baroque architectural elements throughout its streets.

The settlement, originally named Laus Pompeia in 89 BC, was destroyed in 1111 and rebuilt at its current location by Frederick Barbarossa in 1158.

The Cathedral of Lodi exhibits Renaissance architecture while the Church of Incoronata displays an octagonal structure with elaborate fifteenth-century decorations.

The train station connects directly to Milan and Piacenza, making it accessible for travelers exploring the Lombardy region by public transportation.

The inhabitants developed an artificial network of rivers and channels in 1220, transforming previously dry lands into productive agricultural fields.
