Castel
San Pietro Terme e Varignana
Founded in 1199 as a fortified castle following the battle
of Legnano, Castel San Pietro Terme still carries traces of its impressive
past in the mighty Cassero, a massive construction decorated with Guelph
merlons, one of the most characteristic points of the town which also
has its thermal baths in a fine park, golf courses and the surrounding
green areas.
Concerts will be held in the central Piazza XX Settembre, heart of
the city overlooked by the eighteenth-century Santuario del Crocefisso,
built to house a miraculous cross and in the bell-tower of which may
be found 55 bells that can be played by keyboard, unique in Europe.
