The Rocca di Pianello Val Tidone is an imposing medieval fortress dating back to the 13th century. Built for defensive purposes, the fortress dominates the village with its massive walls and strategic position. Today it houses the Archaeological Museum of Val Tidone, which preserves prehistoric, Roman and medieval finds, offering an overview of local history.

Located between the village of Rivalta Trebbia and the river of the same name, the castle of Rivalta was, in the past, one of the most important military bastions of western Emilia. The first certain news about the castle of Rivalta dates back to no earlier than the 11th century and it can still be visited, booking in advance on this site: https://www.castellodirivalta.it/castello-visite-guidate.

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.

Rivalta Castle is one of the very few European examples of manors surrounded by an ancient village that has largely remained intact today.
