Highlights
- Palazzo della Pilotta - Originally constructed around 1580 during the rule of the Farnese family, Palazzo della Pilotta derives its name from the ancient game “pelota” played by Spanish soldiers in the Guazzatoio courtyard. It was initially designed as a collection of buildings to support the Farnese court and the Ducal Palace. The complex houses the National Gallery, the Farnese Theatre, the Palatine Library, the Bodonian Museum, and the national archaeological museum.
- Camera di San Paolo - Within the former monastery of San Paolo lies a small treasure that remained forgotten for a long time: the Chamber of the Abbess, or Chamber of St. Paul.
- Pinacoteca G Stuard - The original collection dates back to 1792, but it was in 1997 that the National Art Gallery underwent significant renovations, transforming it into a modern exhibition space.
- Chiesa di San Francesco del Prato - The church of San Francesco del Prato has a unique history. Built in the Gothic style in the 13th century, it quickly became one of the city’s most important churches. However, what you see today is not the appearance the church maintained for a long time…
- Monastero di San Giovanni Evangelista - Another example of Correggio’s remarkable art in Parma is the Abbey of San Giovanni Evangelista, which is part of a larger complex that includes the monastery and the ancient apothecary.
- Cattedrale di Parma - The ancient cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta stands on the site of an earlier early Christian basilica and a subsequent cathedral built in the 9th century, which was destroyed by fire around 1058.
- Battistero di Parma - While the cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta contains the first known work of the great sculptor Benedetto Antelami, the high relief with the Deposition from the Cross, the baptistery is undoubtedly his most prominent work.
- Museo Glauco Lombardi - The Glauco Lombardi museum is perfect for those who wish to explore Parma’s rich historical and artistic heritage from the 18th and 19th centuries.
- Basilica di Santa Maria della Steccata (Madonna della Steccata) - More than just a basilica and Marian sanctuary, it is also the seat of an important chivalric order. The basilica of Santa Maria della Steccata has stood since 1539 on the site of a previous oratory built to house a revered icon of John the Baptist.
- Museo Casa Natale Arturo Toscanini - Parma, a city long associated with music, is the birthplace of one of the greatest conductors of all time: Arturo Toscanini. His birthplace, where he was born on March 25, 1867, has been transformed into a museum that chronicles his life and career.
- Parco Ducale - The Ducal Park of Parma has a long history, beginning in 1561 with Duke Ottavio Farnese, who decided to create a green space around his new villa.
- Abbazia di Valserena - A large complex that was an important Cistercian monastery for centuries, with a rich history spanning many years.
