イル・カステッロ・ディ・モンティチェッロ（Gazzola、PC）は、ヴァル・トレッビアとヴァル・ルレッタの間の戦略的な位置にある14世紀の中世の要塞です。1372年から言及されており、1945年の戦いを含む戦時中の出来事で知られています。アルチェッリの領地であり、戦災にもかかわらず、四角形の構造を保持しています。

Monticello Castle, of strategic importance due to its location on the ridge of the Trebbia and Luretta valleys and its role in the entrenched camp, was first mentioned in 1372 when it was occupied by papal troops.

An important battle of the Liberation struggle took place here at the castle of Monticello, between 15 and 16 April 1945, in which a handful of partisans barricaded in the castle resisted and repelled a large Nazi-fascist troop of 450 men.

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 Riva castle is a fortified complex located in Ponte dell'Olio, in the province of Piacenza. It is so called as it is located in the district of the same name in the town, whose name derives, in all probability, from its proximity to the Nure stream; the castle was, in fact, built on the right bank of the stream to control the passage along the Nure valley. Its location, near the point where the Nure begins to flow into the Po Valley, was strategic as it allowed control of the passage towards the sea: via the Aveto valley towards Liguria and via the Taro valley towards Lunigiana.

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.

The Torre di Bobbiano is a medieval tower located in Bobbiano, a hamlet in the Italian municipality of Travo, in the province of Piacenza. It is located on a rocky outcrop in the center of the Chiosi basin, in a dominant position with respect to the surrounding landscape. The fortification, whose date of foundation is not known, was mentioned for the first time in a document dating back to 1037 which testifies that Theodosius bought it from Isembrando, canon of the parish church of San Faustino di Tuna, for an amount of 3,000 lire , several farms and fortified buildings located in the Piacenza area including the castle of Bobbiano with the tower and the neighboring church of San Michele - Wikipedia
