Parma’s center is full of art masterpieces, wide green spaces, little and big treasures from different ages, welcoming visitors and citizens all in the refined atmosphere of a petite capital. The presence of music in the history of the city is varied and recognized worldwide; the spirit of initiative and everyone’s passion give the city a deserved relevant position among the capitals of music.

In 2015, Parma was designated as a UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy.

Don't miss

The historical centre of Parma is divided into three big parts:

Piazza Garibaldi, that was in part the site of the Roman forum, and where the centre of the Municipality is located. There is also the Governor’s palace, with its Baroque tower, which houses the bell of the high civic tower that collapsed in 1606, the crowned Virgin in the niche of the bell tower and the two sun-dials dating back to 1829.

Piazza Duomo, where the highest artistic and religious expressions of the city stand, such as the Cathedral dedicated to the Assumption, which is among the main representative Romanesque buildings of the Padana region, started around the year 1059 and consecrated in 1106; the Baptistery, a symbol of the passage from the late Romanesque to Gothic era, made of pink marble from Verona, started in 1196 and finished in 1307 and the Bishop’s palace, dating back to the 11th - 12th century. Re-arranged many times, the present version dates back to the beginning of the 20th century.

Piazza della Pilotta is the symbol of ducal power with the Monumental Pilotta palace, an ancient palace of the court and state services belonging to the Farnese family. The rooms host the Archaeological Museum, Petitot gallery of Palatina Library, the National Gallery, the Farnese Theatre and the Bodoni Museum.

Among the places to visit, not to be missed is the marvelous Camera di San Paolo with frescoes by Correggio

Gastronomy

The star of the Parmesan gastronomy is the pork from which Prosciutto di Parma PDO is made, but also Parmigiano Reggiano cheese PDO, Culatello of Zibello PDO, Salame Felino PGI, Spalla Cotta of San Secondo and the delicious Porcino Mushroom PGI. First courses are also typical, such as cappelletti or anolini cooked in broth, homemade pasta stuffed with stew cooked as well in broth and served most of all during Christmas time. Among the main courses there is stew, cooked slowly and for a long time in beef’s broth.
