Bardi

Bardi is a small commune in the Province of Parma in the Emilia-Romagna region. The settlement spreads across rolling hills with a medieval castle overlooking the area and traditional stone houses clustered along the slopes.

The settlement developed in medieval times around the castle, which was built to defend the valley. Over centuries, it became an important point between the valleys of the region.

The village is small and easy to walk through, though paths on the hills can be steep in places. It is best visited during daylight hours to explore the castle and enjoy views of the surrounding countryside.

The Castello di Bardi is one of the best-preserved castles in the region and shows medieval architecture in impressive form. From its walls one can see almost the entire surroundings and understand why this location was strategically important.
