Place of historical, touristic, architectural and cultural interest Via Castello, 6, 29019 San Giorgio Piacentino PC

Castello di Paderna, which has existed since the 11th century, was ceded in 1453 by the monks of the monastery of San Savino in Piacenza to the Marazzani family, whose descendants owned it. The complex has a trapezoidal structure surrounded by a moat that preserves the presence of water. Inside the moat, but isolated from the other buildings, is the keep, which has an independent entrance and was originally equipped with its own drawbridge.

First mentioned in 1385, the fortress has a square structure characterized by an entrance with a drawbridge. There are three square towers on the tops and a keep, located at the entrance, where you can see the chains of the drawbridge. In the courtyard are the foundations of an old isolated tower, the last defensive bulwark of the structure.

The castle of Cerreto or Cereio, located between the Riglio and Chero rivers, is documented as belonging to Oberto Landi in 1385. Subsequently, during the battle of the Guelphs of Piacenza against the Dukes of Milan, the chronicler Musso of Piacenza confirmed the loyalty of the fortress of Cerreto in favor of the Visconti. The castle of Cerreto Landi has a rectangular plan with three projecting corner towers. In the keep, in the center of the main facade, there are two entrances, one for pedestrians and one for the ramp, once served by the drawbridge from which the seats of the bolzoni have been preserved. The grandeur of the south-east entrance and the presence of moats, together with the traces of an ancient isolated tower in the center of the courtyard, confirm the control function that Cerreto exercised over the communications network that connected the Piacenza Hill to the Via Emilia. In the stone and pebble walls, a classic structure of thirteenth-century buildings in Piacenza, there are more modern brick inserts, openings and verandas with round arches and some loopholes in the north-west tower.

Castell'Arquato, a medieval village and city of art on the first hills of the Val D'Arda, stands majestically thirty kilometers from Piacenza and a little further from Parma. Dominating the hill along the Arda stream, this village keeps its medieval structure intact, offering an authentic experience. Culture, history, natural beauty and gastronomy blend harmoniously in this unique place, enriched by unmissable events.

A climb to get to the medieval village of Castell'Arquato is worth it, perhaps reward yourself with the gastronomic delights of the place!

Castel Arquato accessible both on foot and by bicycle
