Abbey of Valserena, Gothic and Baroque monastery in Parma, Italy.
The Abbey of Valserena features three naves ending in a square apse, with polystyle pillars supporting a cross vault ceiling spanning 62 by 34 meters.
Founded in 1298 under Pope Boniface VIII, the monastery initially housed monks from the Abbey of Chiaravalle della Colomba near Piacenza.
The interior walls display numerous 16th-century decorations created by artists Cesare Baglione and Aurelio Gatti from the Farnese court.
Visitors can access the abbey from Wednesday to Friday between 15:00 and 19:00, and on weekends from 10:00 until 19:00.
The building served multiple functions through time, including a military garrison, a conserve factory, and storage space for agricultural equipment.
