Splendida ricostruzione di teatro farnesiano nel palazzo della pilotta
Reviewed By Vic H - Raholt
This review is biased because we were there for an unforgettable opera experience during the 2017 Verdi Opera Festival. but it is a long way up the steps to get into the main arena. Although I believe if you ask the staff it is possible to take a trade lift to the hall. This is also location for the National Art Gallery and the old Library. A wonderful place to visit.
2. Cattedrale di Parma

Reviewed By Marciopascoa - Manaus, AM
I ever studied the external shape of this Cathedral as typical Romanic example in architecture. Never imagined what was inside. All chapels and walls, ceiling, etc was painted in fresco. The most of this work by Gambara, a renaissance artist. It is a touching work of art, the most impressive that I could see traveling 10 countries of Europe along 20 years and dozens of cities, hundreds of churches. This is the top of art work and architecture. If you add the Baptistery, so it is unbeatable expression of human art.

After seeing the Duomos in Milan, Florence, Siena, Montreale, not every Duomo excites me, but this was definitely a very worth while time spent walking into the church and seeing its ornate ceiling, beautiful cross and architecture.
5. Castello di Torrechiara

Reviewed By Irene G - Glasgow, United Kingdom
This castle was built by Pier Maria II Rossi (1413-1482), count of San Secondo, between 1448 and 1460 as a mansion for his lover, Bianca Pellegrini. We enjoyed a tour and discovered the delights of this superbly preserved castle which survevied the recent earthquakes with minimal damage. There’s much to look and wonder at from the samll chapel to the the Camera d'Oro ("Golden Chamber") which sadly is golden no longer as one owner stripped this room of its gold. The castle overlooks the River Parma which was dry in June.

Reviewed By chris r - Thruxton, United Kingdom
By arriving shortly before closing we were treated to our own tour of the house. We were not rushed and the guide was friendly and knowledgable. The house, the seat of the ancient Italian Lupi family was wonderful and not smartened up as would be the case of a National Trust house in England. Do go.
7. Battistero di Parma

Reviewed By dxmyekat - Tirana, Albania
This one-of-a-kind structure is something one must see in Parma. As we learned, everyone in Parma was baptized here until 1917. The vaulted dome with its rings of paintings is magnificent.
8. Castello di Bardi

This castle never ceases to amaze me. Set in the heart of the high Appenine Mountains, this attraction has a lot to offer the visitor.
The views across the Val Ceno river and the mountain peaks is fascinating.
A family package is available at a very reasonable price and local Ristorante and Coffee shops will make your visit worthwhile.
Check the opening periods of the year as the castle is closed for up to 6 Months of the year.

Reviewed By Catero - Parma, Italy
A fantastic location in the middle of the countryside, but excellent links to Parma (incl. the train station). English-style park and a first-class collection. Temporary Exhibitions are planned each year. Masterpieces include Goya, Morandi, Cezanne, Canova, Titian, Durer, etc. Very good restaurant in the ex-stables. Concerts in the summer and children activities (booking only)
10. Rocca Sanvitale di Fontanellato
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 927 reviews
The Sanvitale Fortress of Fontanellato rises, enchanting and suggestive, at the centre of the village; surrounded by a wide moat, it contains a precious treasure: the “Room of Diana and Actaeon” painted by Parmigianino in 1524. The aristocratic apartments of the Sanvitale counts is still intact, with original furniture and furnishings. From the “Camera Ottica” it still possible observe the real life outside the castle thanks to an ingenious system of lenses
Reviewed By Farsmile - Bath England
Having waited for the ticket office to open after lunch we were asked to choose (in English) whether we wanted the full tour or just the frescos. We opted for the full tour. We were the only English visitors in a group of about 10. The tour guide announced in perfect English that the tour would be in in Italian only. Of course she could have thrown in the odd English sentence or two but chose not to. So, do clarify the language point before paying. To be honest the castle is not worth viewing but the frescos were so perhaps run with the cheap option.
