Castello di Montechiarugolo

The castle rises on a natural embankment along the Enza stream, marking the border between the territories of Parma and Reggio Emilia provinces.

Following its destruction in 1313, Guido Torelli rebuilt the fortress in the 15th century, transforming it into a military stronghold with thick defensive walls.

During the 16th century, the castle became a center for artists and poets under Pomponio Torelli, who commissioned numerous frescoes for its interior rooms.

The castle accommodates up to 200 guests indoors and 300 people when combining indoor and outdoor spaces for ceremonies and conferences.

The castle features a terracotta bridge leading to the Castellazzo garden, where roses and peonies bloom throughout spring months.
