The city is best known for the
Sanctuary (15th century). Other sights include: • The
Gallavresi Palace (or the Marchioness Palace), now the Town Hall. It dates to the second half of the 13th century. • Church of
San Fermo e Rustico, in
Lombard-Gothic style, built in the 13th century over a pre-existing holy edifice. The two aisles were added in 1429. It has a façade in brickwork with a marble central portal, surmounted by a large
rose window. It is flanked by a high bell tower, built in 1500 by governor Giovanni Dandolo. The interior houses the Holy Sacrament Chapel (late 15th-early 16th century), in
Bramantesque style, variously attributed to
Giovanni Battagio; also present are works by
Bernardino Campi,
Giovanni Moriggia,
Giulio Cesare Procaccini and
Nicola Moietta. • Church of
Santa Liberata (16th century), with frescoes. • Porta Nuova arch (18th century) •
Teatro Amerighi, named after the family of the
painter Michelangelo Amerighi da Caravaggio, it was a theatre designed by the
Liberty style architect Carlo Bedolini and built at the beginning of the 20th century. It has been probably the most important cultural and social spot of the city for decades before being destroyed at the end of the
Second World War. In the area it was considered like a little
Teatro alla Scala. ==People==
