Santa Maria del Quartiere

Santa Maria del Quartiere follows a hexagonal plan with a central dome decorated by frescoes depicting the Trinity, angels, and saints in Paradise.

Construction of the church began in 1604 under architect Giovan Battista Aleotti and continued until 1650, marking a period of architectural development in Parma.

The church features notable artworks, including ceiling frescoes by Giulio Orlandini, Merurio Baiardi, and Pier Antonio Bernabei with his students.

Located in the Oltretorrente quarter within Parma's medieval walls, the church maintains regular opening hours for religious services and visitor access.

The church earned its name from its location near military quarters, reflecting its historical connection to the troops of the Duchy of Parma.
