The Pallavicino Marquises' Scipione Castle dominates the hills between Parma and Salsomaggiore Terme and is one of the oldest fortresses in Emilia-Romagna, built before the 11th century to control the salt routes. Inhabited by the same family for centuries, it preserves medieval structures and rooms transformed in later eras, nestled within the historic village of Scipione Castello.
