Parma Cathedral has been a place of art, history and sanctity for 900 years. Here are preserved the bas-reliefs of Benedetto Antelami, the Romanesque art heritage and the great frescoes of Antonio Allegri, known as Correggio. Entering this place means living the faith, opening yourself to art and discovering one of the city's most precious treasures.
