Built between 1278 and 1363 by the Ghibelline Umbertino Landi, the church of San Francesco is in Lombard Gothic style with a terracotta façade. The Friars Minor were commissioned to carry out the work and quickly built the church and adjoining monastery. Over the centuries, the church was enriched with works of art and the convent reached considerable dimensions. The most important historical event connected to the church was, in 1848, the proclamation, which took place here with a plebiscite, of the annexation of Piacenza to the Kingdom of Sardinia. The church preserves inside the tombs of illustrious men, paintings, sculptures and remains of frescoes from the 14th and 15th centuries. Note the sculpture placed in the lunette of the portal, with the Stigmata of San Francesco (around 1480). The dome of the chapel of the Immaculate Conception is frescoed by Giovanni Battista Trotti, known as “Il Malosso” (1600). Also worthy of note is the stucco sculpture group created by Reti in the 17th century and depicting the Deposition. Other artists present are Bernardo Castello, Giuseppe Nuvolone and Benedetto Marini. In front of the church of San Francesco, the so-called “Dado” develops in height, the building that incorporates the architectural structures of the ancient medieval Torrazzo communal tower.

The Chiesa di San Sisto was once home to Raphael's Sistine Madonna, commissioned by none other than Julius II to create an altarpiece for the church. Raphael painted his Sistine Madonna around 1513. The canvas hung in the Chiesa di San Sisto until 1754. In that year, it was sold to an art collector, after which the Sistine Madonna ended up in the Gemäldegalerie in Dresden, where you can still see it today. A copy now hangs in the empty space in the Chiesa di San Sisto, but even though you can no longer admire Raphael's original Madonna in the San Sisto, the church is still worth a visit, also for its beautiful cloister and sixteenth-century frescoes.

Known as "il Gotico" to those who live in Piacenza, due to the presence of pointed arches typical of Gothic architecture, this historic building in the city center hosted the poet Francesco Petrarca in 1351. Today it opens to the public only on the occasion of events or temporary exhibitions.

The main square of Piacenza with a beautiful Gothic palace. It takes its name from two equestrian statues of two members of the Farnese family, which for a long time dominated the city. The square is also overlooked by much less beautiful buildings, which quite seriously disrupt the view. However, a must-see for anyone visiting Piacenza.

Cathedral, mother church of the Diocese of Piacenza-Bobbio, built in two phases, between 1122 and 1150 and 1202 and 1235 (or between 1207 and 1250 according to other sources) in Romanesque style with the addition of Gothic elements in the second phase. The design of the building is said to have been the work of Niccolò, with whom Wiligelmo is also said to have collaborated. The interior has a dome painted in the seventeenth century by Morazzone and Guercino. The presbytery and choir were painted towards the end of the sixteenth century by Camillo Procaccini and Ludovico Carracci: most of their works were moved from their original location during nineteenth-century restorations. Under the belfry with four lancets there is an iron cage built by Ludovico il Moro in 1495, a kind of deterrent for the criminals of that time.
