Castello di Castelcorniglio

The stone fortress sits on the left side of Val Pessola valley, featuring four corner towers and three inner courtyards within its defensive walls.

Built around 1550, the castle changed ownership through noble families including the Pallavicino and Conti Valeri until the Rugarli maintained feudal rights until 1805.

The castle library contains numerous volumes from the 16th and 19th centuries, along with historical collections including Napoleonic soldier figurines.

Located at Località Specchio 13 in Solignano, the castle stands at coordinates 44.647149 North and 9.941668 East in the Parma province.

The internal garden features an ancient well that, according to local tradition, was used for the execution of condemned prisoners.
