Castell'Arquato, Medieval commune in Piacenza Province, Italy.
The historic center of Castell'Arquato stands on a hillside at 224 meters elevation, with narrow stone streets leading to panoramic views of Val d'Arda.
The town's foundation dates to the 8th century when Magnus, a noble lord, constructed the initial castle and church between 756 and 758.
The Collegiata Church of Santa Maria displays Romanesque architecture with a 14th-century paradise portico and a 13th-century cloister featuring intricate stonework.
Visitors can reach Castell'Arquato by taking a bus or taxi from the nearby train stations of Fiorenzuola d'Arda or Piacenza.
The Rocca Viscontea castle contains four corner towers connected by underground tunnels, maintaining its original 14th-century military architecture.
