We didn't visit the interior; we just happened to be there on a mountain bike ride. From the outside, it's very interesting.

The Castle was first mentioned in a document from 1001. On this occasion, Bishop Sigifredo granted the Benedictine monks of San Savino (Piacenza) some land, including the area of the Castle. The building has a trapezoidal plan and has four circular towers. The first of the four towers dates back to around the year 1000, which only later became four. The Castle was often the scene of clashes and battles. In 1212, the Guelphs of Piacenza took refuge there, threatened by the Ghibellines of Visconti, but they were worsted because they were defeated later in two battles. In the fourteenth century, the Castle was inhabited by Gabriello Boccapiccina, then it passed to the Chiapponi family. When the Chiapponi family died out, in the eighteenth century they were replaced by the Scotti di San Giorgio, who profoundly adapted the building, transforming it into a stately home. At the beginning of the twentieth century, the Castle belonged for a short period to the Lombardi of Genoa; it was then sold to Eng. Giuseppe Manfredi, who had it restored by Prof. Camillo Guidotti. From 1930 to 1987, the building was owned by the Ursuline Mothers of Piacenza. Today, the Castle is used by the current owner as a venue for private events.

The Rocca Viscontea is the main attraction of the whole village. This imposing fortress is clearly visible from the surrounding hills, as it remains in the highest part of the town. Built by Luchino Visconti between 1342 and 1349, the fortress passed to the Scotti family in 1404, then to Filippo Visconti. In 1466 it became part of the heritage of the Sforza family who held it until 1707, the year in which it was incorporated into the Duchy of Parma and Piacenza.

The castle was born as a medieval fortification in the Vezzeno Valley. The manor, surrounded by Guelph battlements, is defended by towers, the entrance one with a drawbridge and the mighty central keep. The Castle of Gropparello, known in ancient times as "Rocca di Cagnano", is a characteristic example of a medieval fortification built to defend the access route to a valley, conceived as a true eagle's nest overlooking the cliff, and therefore absolutely unassailable .. The oldest document known so far about Gropparello dates back to the year 810, and is the deed with which the emperor Charlemagne granted the place as a fief to the then bishop of Piacenza Giuliano II.

The castle, mentioned in a sale deed of 1296, was built on a hill on the left bank of the Trebbia river, in front of Rivergaro, to control access to the valley together with the castles of Rivalta, Montechiaro and Rivergaro, located on the opposite bank. The castle has a rectangular plan with an internal courtyard and four cylindrical corner towers. Made of stones and pebbles from Trebbia, it is composed of three buildings and a single curtain wall, to the south, modified at the end of the 17th century with the addition of battlements and windows. The south-west corner tower has large Renaissance-style arched openings.
