Castell'Arquato is located on the first hill of Piacenza and serves as the gateway to the Arda Valley. The village was founded around the 7th century AD; the first written records date back to that period. During the Middle Ages, the village was often the scene of clashes between Guelphs and Ghibellines and the center of disputes between the Scotti and Visconti families. In the modern era, it passed from the Visconti to the Sforza family, whose rule lasted until the 18th century, when the village became part of the Duchy of Parma and Piacenza. The village has retained a typically medieval appearance with many places of great interest.

Nice viewpoint to relax a bit or take a photo.

A wonderful stop. Both the church and the baptistery were open, and we were able to enter for a visit. It's worth a detour if you're in the area.

It's always fun on these streets

@Roberto when my father-in-law Renato inherited it there was no violin inside; Since 2008 the heir Renato Casaliggi passed away and it was inherited by his son. Currently the tower is dilapidated and inaccessible due to time and neglect ...

Suggestive place easily reachable

Central hub of the Piacenza mid-mountain, between the Nure and Arda valleys. From Prato Barbieri you can go down to Bettola, Morfasso and Gropparello. You can then go up to Passo Santa Franca, and from there reach Farini passing through Groppallo. Beautiful views guaranteed.

Very nice dirt roads, really recommended both in Gravel and MTB. Only a few sections are a bit rough.
