Subjects : It is a castle, which can be visited externally and partly also internally. There are really beautiful rooms and frescoed with taste. It was built between 1448 and 1460 by Pier Maria Rossi, Earl of St. Second, great leader in the service of the Visconti, because, on the one hand, he controlled the outlet of the Parma stream in the plain and strengthened that fortified chessboard, which guaranteed access from Liguria and Tuscany, in the hands of his family, and, on the other, to make it his home with the beloved Bianca Arluno.La Pellegrini , which shows the influence of the castles of the warring-viscontei castles, was therefore born not only as an instrument of defense, but also as a stately home, merging defensive and residential structures. The castle of Torrechiara, composed of the manor and the ancient high village, is built on a walled platform placed at the top of a terraced hill (at m.278 s.l.m.): the eastern and southern sides of the platform were artificially built, as revealed by the numerous underground rooms carved inside the ramparts delimited by the first round of walls, today visitable, after careful recovery work, , which ended in 2006.

Recommended equipment : I recommend a wide angle pushed for photos from the inside. The most scenic part seen from the streets around the castle, allow you to make excellent shots even with moderate canvases up to 150mm.

Best months : Summer and autumn.

How to get there : In the car without problems, there is a large parking lot at the slopes of the castle. There is a restaurant next to the parking lot, or you can also eat inside the castle walls.

Visits : The outside can always be visited, the rooms have schedules with guided tours from 10am to 7pm.
