Parco Cittadella

Click here for the Italian version.

Parco Cittadella is a pentagonal shaped fortress with towers and moats, built by Sir Alessandro Farnese, third Duke of Parma, at the end of XVIth Century.

Planned in every detail by Sir Alessandro Farnese, taking inspiration from Francesco Paciotto's fortress of Anversa, Cittadella was never a good defence from invader armies. It was more successfully used as a prison and a torture place to punish subversive attempts against the government.

It was later used as a barrack and then turned into a public park, keeping the pentagonal structure and the original main gate.

Today Parco Cittadella is daily visited today by hundreds of people who love to practice sports and relax in this beautiful place.
