The Cathedral of Parma has been a place of art, history and sacredness for 900 years. Here are the bas-reliefs by Benedetto Antelami, the evidence of Romanesque art and the grandiose frescoes by Antonio Allegri, known as Correggio. Entering this place means living faith, opening up to art and approaching one of the city's most precious treasures. The Cathedral was built starting in 1074 by the Bishop-Count Guibodo following the terrible fire that destroyed the previous paleochristian basilica.
Since then it has always been a symbol of the living religious tradition of the city, but also a monumental witness of art, which over the centuries has been enriched with priceless treasures. Here the essentiality of Romanesque sculpture coexists with the splendor of Renaissance painting, giving life to one of the most evocative places of faith in Emilia.
