Rocca Pallavicino, Medieval castle in Busseto, Italy.

The castle features a central square courtyard surrounded by three corner towers and a 16th-century high tower with swallow-tailed battlements.

Emperor Charles V of Habsburg and Pope Paul III held a significant meeting at the castle in 1543, marking its role in European diplomacy.

The Teatro Giuseppe Verdi, constructed between 1856 and 1868, occupies space within the castle and presents regular opera performances throughout the year.

Visitors can access both the municipal offices and the theater through separate entrances under the portico of the main facade.

The facade displays intricate terracotta medallions shaped like shells and pointed arches created by Rinaldo de Stavolis's workshop in the 15th century.
