Arco del Torrazzo, Renaissance city gate in Crema, Italy
The Arco del Torrazzo connects Piazza del Duomo with Via XX Settembre through a tall stone archway adorned with Renaissance architectural elements.
Built around 1520, the gate received the Saint Mark's lion on its external facade in 1525, marking the connection between Crema and Venice.
Two statues stand above the arch: Saint Victorian with military attire and sword, and Saint Pantaleon, the city patron of Crema.
The structure contains an archive room in its upper section, accessed through internal stairs that lead to spaces formerly used for notarial documents.
The gate features different architectural details on each side, with elaborate windows facing Via XX Settembre and a clock mechanism operating since 1575.
