Discovering Parma between art and beauty
Walking tour and tasting in the heart of the Emilian city
Let yourself be enchanted by the treasures of Parma, the Italian "little Paris", walking with your nose in the air among its artistic and architectural treasures. Visit the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, an example of Lombard Romanesque architecture with Renaissance works of great value, above all the dome frescoed by Correggio. Then reach the former Benedictine Convent of San Paolo, built in the year 1000 at the behest of the Bishop of the city, then completely renovated between 1400 and 1500, by two abbesses who made it a center of culture and art, still witnessed today from Correggio's frescoes in the Abbess's Chamber. Alternatively, next to the Cathedral, admire the Baptistery, one of the symbolic monuments of the city, entirely covered in pink marble and embellished with paintings and frescoes. And again the ducal district and the Basilica of Santa Maria della Steccata, with the works of Parmigianino in the presbytery. Refresh yourself by delighting in typical dishes, then enter the National Gallery, for a journey through the history of art and the wonder that only Parma can offer.
