Description
San Tiburzio is a baroque church in Parma featuring a Greek cross layout with an octagonal dome crowning the structure. The two-story facade is articulated by semi-columns and Ionic capitals that define its classical proportions.
History
Construction of this building began in 1720 under architect Edelberto dalla Nave on a site previously occupied by a fifth-century religious structure. This project extended a long tradition of spiritual practice at the location.
Culture
The interior displays statues representing Faith and Charity positioned near the entrance, while additional sculptures of Saint Philip Neri and Saint Charles Borromeo decorate the entablature. These works reflect the spiritual focus of the place.
Practical
This building is managed by ASP Parma and functions as both a religious space and a venue for exhibitions in the city. The location on Borgo Palmia 6A is easily accessible on foot.
