We saw the Cathedral of Lodi again on January 19th, on the occasion of the patronal feast of San Bassiano, who lived in the 4th century, the first Bishop of Lodi and Patron Saint of the city.
The Cathedral is always beautiful, begun in 1158 together with the foundation of the city by Barbarossa, after the Milanese had destroyed the ancient Roman city of Laus Pompeia (now Lodi Vecchio), an ally of the Emperor.
Over the centuries it has undergone numerous changes and was brought back to its primitive Romanesque style around the middle of the twentieth century.
It deserves to be seen.

The Cathedral, named after the Virgin of the Assumption, was born together with the city, or in 1158, although it was then finished in 1284. In Romanesque style initially, which was modified in the 18th century and then returned to its origins in the last century (the central rose window is Renaissance, however). The bell tower dates back to the 1500s. The interior has three naves and houses an organ from the 1800s. Must-see is the crypt, which is the oldest part of the entire cathedral, there is an altar in which are preserved, in a silver urn, the remains of St. Bassian, patron saint of the city.

Building of considerable size, one of the largest churches not only in Lombardy.
The beginning of construction is the beginning of 1100, but very little remains of that era, part of the walls and perhaps the two lions stylophores that support the columns of the portal. The style is Gothic and large, demonstrating the remodeling that took place in the 16th century.
Inside, many works by Callisto Piazza, an appreciable painter from Lodi

We were very happy we decided to go to Lodi and see this wonderful place. The main piazza with its historical buildings was capped off with a lovely Duomo. It will surprise you when you go inside - Roman Lombard style of architecture with some lovely frescoes and important relics.
The porticos in the square are delightful and a great place to stop and have a coffee etc.
Loved watching the local men (most with bikes) gather for a chat to discuss the results of the recent elections.
Compared to Pavia is a much cleaner, organised and better maintained town.
A most enjoyable visit and we will return to Lodi again

fine example of Lombard Romanesque. Beware of the steps after the door if you enter the left one. Certainly the Temple of the Incoronata is of greater interest, however to be seen.Romanesque church of the twelfth century, with frescoes and crypt. Extensive explanations written inside. open until 12 pm and after 4.30 pm until 7 pm you can breathe in medieval air

The Duomo is a beautiful church in Roman style. It is worth a visit in conjunction with the Piazza, the Incoronata, and San Francesco Church. The are all at walking distance from each other. Stroll on Corso Roma, our sit in one of the bar under the porches in Piazza Duomo. Saturday and Sunday morning is the best time to see the local people enjoy their town. If you are in Milan and you have a spare day, it is worth a visit.

In the 12th century Lodi (heir to the Laus Pompeia of the Roman era) was sacked and devastated by the Milanese, due to its loyalty to the Holy Roman Empire. Several years later Federico Barbarossa defeated the Milanese and, as a sign of gratitude towards the people of Lodi, financed the reconstruction of the city a few kilometers from the previous one. Materials taken from the rubble of the old town center were largely used in the works. Thus, the current cathedral of Lodi was born in Lombard Romanesque style, dedicated to the Virgin of the Assumption. On the other hand, the nearby early Christian cathedral of Lodi Vecchia (dating back to the 4th century), which until that time had been the main religious building in the Lodi area, gradually began to lose importance until it was demolished at the beginning of the 19th century.
In the sixteenth century the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta underwent significant restoration work, which had to be repeated two centuries later. Both of these interventions significantly altered the appearance of the building, which (to the extent possible) was brought back to its medieval original following further works completed in the 1960s. In 1970 the cathedral was elevated to the rank of minor basilica by Paul VI.
The lower part of the sloping façade is dominated by an elegant Gothic style portal with a single arch, supported by two slender columns which in turn rest on two stone lions. The portal is flanked by two splendid Renaissance-style mullioned windows, created during the sixteenth-century restorations. The middle band houses a beautiful rose window made of two-coloured marble, white and light brown. Above the rose window, inserted in a charming little shrine, there is a bronze statue of San Bassiano, a copy of the original kept inside the church. Even higher up, a series of blind arches crown the entire façade, made asymmetrical by the presence of the robust sixteenth-century bell tower which rises to its right. The bell tower is ventilated by two openings on each side. Only some evidence remains of the beautiful fifteenth-century cloister which until some time ago stood near the church.
The interior of the church is in the shape of a Latin cross, with three naves punctuated by two rows of powerful columns on which large round arches rest. On one of these columns there is the original thirteenth-century gilded copper statue of San Bassiano, which I mentioned previously. Just below the large cross vaults of the ceiling, ventilated by small mullioned windows, there are two suggestive women's galleries: this is how the raised parts of the churches reserved for women were called in the early Middle Ages, who at the time had to remain separated from men during religious functions . The presbytery and the apse (the latter decorated with a beautiful mosaic, a twentieth-century work by Aligi Sassu) are raised compared to the rest of the church, to make the activities of the officiating clergy better visible. The main altar, dating back to the eighteenth century, is made of polychrome marble. The interior of the church is embellished with a series of works created by Lombard artists in the 16th and 17th centuries, among which stands out a valuable polyptych attributed to Callisto Piazza, depicting the "Massacre of the Innocents".
Although restored several times over the centuries, the crypt is the oldest part of the church. The remains of San Bassiano have been kept here since the construction of the church. During the sack of Lodi the relics were plundered by the Milanese, but then it was Barbarossa himself who returned them to the people of Lodi with a solemn ceremony in which the pro-imperial antipope Victor IV also took part. Saint Bassianus lived in the 4th century and was the first bishop of Laus Pompeia, which already at the time hosted a large community of Christians. The saint, patron saint of Lodi and other places in Northern Italy, is celebrated on January 19th.
Immediately to the left of the Duomo stands the elegant Palazzo Broletto, home to the Town Hall. Both buildings overlook the central Piazza della Libertà.
