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

Very beautiful, old castle!

The castle of Monticelli d'Ongina - or Rocca Pallavicino-Casali - is a fortified complex, one of the most impressive existing in the plain, located in the historic center of the municipality of Monticelli d'Ongina. Built entirely of brick, with the typical structure of Piacenza plain castles, it has a quadrangular plan with an internal courtyard, with four cylindrical towers protruding from the corners, raised above the line of the curtains.

Palazzo Farnese, built in the second half of the 1500s under the direction of the architect Jacopo Barozzi, known as Vignola. After various events, this imposing building - which hosted many homeless people during the Second World War - is now home to the City's Civic Museums. Inside, the Madonna adoring the Child with the infant Saint John (known as Botticelli's Tondo) in the Pinacoteca stand out; the Sala dei Fasti Farnesiani, the room that more than any other exalts the Farnese family through pictorial representations; the curious Carriage Museum, one of the most prestigious in Italy on the subject; and the Archaeological Museum of the city and the territory which among its collections houses the famous Liver of Piacenza, an Etruscan find linked to the practices of the haruspic priests.

A small town of few inhabitants with a beautiful castle still intact, I leave you a link to learn more about architectural and historical details. https://www.lombardiabeniculturali.it/architetture/schede/LO620-00041/

Small municipality famous for the presence of a fortress of the Pallavicino family. A quiet place that is worth a stop to visit.

Pallavicina court

Palazzo Farnese was built in 1561 by the architect Jacopo Barozzi, linked to the Farnese family. Today the building houses the civic museums of the city of Piacenza and the State Archives (provincial headquarters).
