Castelleone, Medieval commune in Province of Cremona, Italy

Castelleone spans across 45 square kilometers of land at an elevation of 66 meters, encompassing eight distinct subdivisions including Cortellona and San Latino.

The Municipality and Bishop of Cremona established Castelleone in 1188 as a defensive structure, leading to a significant victory against Milan forces in 1213.

The Renaissance parish church of Saints Philip and James displays intricate terracotta decorations and contains paintings by Italian masters Giulio Campi and Genovesino.

The Castelleone railway station connects travelers to major destinations through the Treviglio-Cremona rail line, providing regular transportation services throughout the region.
