Corte di Giarola

The Corte di Giarola features traditional Romanesque architecture with stone walls, arched windows, and a central courtyard surrounded by monastery buildings and a church.

Between the 8th and 9th centuries, a nobleman named Ingo constructed this fortified garrison near the River Taro ford, which later became an agricultural monastery complex.

The complex now includes the Museum of Tomato, Museum of Pasta, and an exhibition about the Taro River Regional Park, presenting local food traditions and natural heritage.

The facility contains a 99-seat theater, conference rooms, and a restaurant, making it suitable for cultural events, meetings, and dining experiences throughout the year.

The structure received its name Glarola from the Latin word referring to the gravel deposits along the riverbanks where it stands.
