Loggia dei Militi is one of the most ancient buildings of Lombardy Cremona, a popular tourist attraction. The inscription on the plaque, embedded in the wall of the facade, says that the Loggia was built in 1292, the year.
Loggia dei Militi was a meeting place for members of the military society "Societa dei Militi", which existed long before the construction of this building and which included the wealthiest and most influential inhabitants of Cremona and the surrounding cities. Besides being at the Lodge held a public meeting, it was also used for storing flags, statutes, and other important social subjects.
Loggia dei Militi in architectural terms is two rectangular spaces, placed one above the other, like many other buildings of Lombardy that period. Under the portico you can see the emblem of Cremona – a sculptural composition consisting of two Hercules that hold between the arms of the city. According to the legend, Hercules was the founder of Cremona. I must say that the emblem was moved to the Loggia dei Militi with Porta Margarita, which were destroyed in 1910, the year.
