Parma Parks and Gardens

Parma's green spaces are close to the historic centre. The Farnese dukes laid out the Parco Ducale across the river, and their pentagonal Cittadella fortress is now a public park. The university's botanical garden and the lawns of Piazza della Pace next to the Pilotta give quiet breaks between sights.
