    The Citadel of Parma is a Renaissance fortress, located in via Passo Buole, a side street of the Martiri della Libertà road, in Parma.

    Developed on a pentagonal plan with five bastions and a large perimeter moat, it was built in the last years of the 16th century to a design by Duke Alessandro Farnese, who entrusted the direction of the works to the engineers Giovanni Antonio Stirpio de' Brunelli and Genesio Bresciani, with the collaboration of Smeraldo Smeraldi. Built for defensive purposes, the structure was later used as a barracks, as a prison for political crimes and as a square for capital executions, to be finally transformed into a public park after the Second World War.

    The Citadel has two entrances, of which the main one, facing north, is characterized by a monumental Mannerist facade, designed by Simone Moschino and built by Giambattista Carra in 1596.
