Parma's Unmissable Treasures

Parma's highlights sit within a short walk of each other. The Romanesque cathedral and Antelami's pink marble baptistery share one square, while the vast Farnese palace of the Pilotta holds a wooden Renaissance theatre and the city's main art gallery. Correggio's frescoes fill the cathedral dome, San Giovanni Evangelista and the Camera di San Paolo, and the Teatro Regio keeps Parma's opera tradition alive.
