Admire the beautiful frescoes painted by Correggio and the 12th century reliefs of Benedetto Antelami.  Explore the vast monastery of St. John the Evangelist, comprised of a church, a convent and the old pharmacy, known to all for its potent remedies. See the catacombs< beneath the sanctuary of Santa Maria della Steccata then wander around the enchanting botanical gardens maintained by the University of Parma. Don’t miss visiting Palazzo Pilotta with its incredible array of museums, including the National Gallery with Leonardo, Tiepolo and Guercino masterpieces. Take a day to visit the many castles near the city, such as Torrechiara and Soragna, then relax with a glass of red wine and a rich platter of Parma’s world-renowned prosciutto and parmigiano cheese. Pamper yourself in the mineral baths of Salsomaggiore Terme or the 150 year old baths of Tabiano.
