Soncino wheelchair accessible tours

Soncino wheelchair accessible tours, is a small village in the province of Cremona. The city of Crema is closer, less than twenty km away.

Precisely because of its proximity and size it is possible to combine a visit to Crema and the village of Soncino in a single day, whereas instead a whole day is required to see Cremona.

The village is located within a flat area, in the middle of the Po Valley and, more or less, in the center between the provinces of Cremona, Brescia and Bergamo.

Soncino is also counted among the most beautiful villages in Italy, making it an unmissable destination famous mainly for its Sforzesca fortress.

Its origins have not yet been clarified, but it is thought that it was founded in the IV century by the Goths, only to be transformed into a military fiefdom by the Lombards just four hundred years later.

Throughout its history it was at the center of various disputes, including that between Cremona, which purchased it as a defense outpost against Milan and Brescia.

Touring Soncino

In reality, in a quick walk through the historic center you will discover curious and evocative destinations, such as the three main churches, richly decorated and frescoed and all very different from each other.

The Printing Museum, with its decidedly ancient history, is also worth a visit.

The Castle of Soncino is the most popular attraction, but in reality the village offers so much else to visit.

The colorful interiors of the Pieve di Santa Maria Assunta for example are truly breathtaking, an ancient church certainly among the most beautiful in Lombardy.

It was built in 1473 by order of Duke Sforza by the Cremonese architect Gadio and became fundamental for defending the area until the mid XV century.

The castle and its fortress seem to come out of a fairy tale of princesses and knights.

The Silk Museum is located right next to the Castle and its headquarters is actually a former spinning mill which houses an interesting private collection useful for explaining all the phases of silk production: from the cultivation of the silkworm to the processing of the threads.

During your visit to the village you can also taste Gorgonzola ( Blue Cheese ) Ice Cream, typical of these areas.

Although you might initially turn up your nose at the thought of a dessert with this flavour, in reality you will be delighted.
