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.

Definitely worth it, there is a lot to explore, plan about 2 hours

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.

This square used to be the political and commercial center of Piacenza. It owes its name (Piazza Cavelli) to two masterpieces by Francesko mochi, the Baroque equestrian statues** of Alexander and Ranuccio I Farnese. The gigantic structure that towers above the square is the Gotico**. To the left of the square rises the facade of the 13th century Chiesa di san Francesco, an interesting example of Gothic Franciscan architecture.
