Mon and Wed 15: 00-19: 00, Thu 9: 30-13: 00. Groups by reservation only.. The Rocca di Noceto stands in the center of the town; it is an imposing building that was commissioned by Oberto Pallavicino around the middle of the thirteenth century, after Frederick II gave him the town. It was subject to many destructions, but was rebuilt in the fourteenth century by the Sanvitale counts. Pier Maria Rossi put his hand on it in the fifteenth century, having it rebuilt in some parts, and it is to this intervention that we owe the current appearance of the castle. In the seventeenth century it was given half to the Farnese and half to the Sanvitale. The Sanvitale family kept it until the abolition of the fiefdoms in 1805; they had used it as an administrative center of the territory as the seat of the court, of the militia, of the prison, of the residence of the mayor. It was surrounded by a large moat that existed until the mid-nineteenth century, when it was buried. The central keep and the external walls are the original parts of the building. Inside it encloses a luxuriant garden. Hosts the Ancient Disc Museum, the Parma violin making collection; there International School of Violin Making.

Around
- Fontevivo - The Cistercian church of San Bernardo, with the convent now used for civilian use, is one of the most important parish works of the Parma plain. In the hamlet of Castelguelfo an imposing (private) castle surrounded by high walls and immersed in a huge park, overlooks the Via Emilia for a long stretch.
- Parma - One of the major cities of art inEmilia, maintains with great evidence the appearance, elegance and ways of life of a capital, as it was for centuries. The Farnese della Pilotta palace, the Romanesque Cathedral, the Steccata church are some of the monumental emergencies that characterize the city; of great fame his theater, his musical tradition (Giuseppe Verdi), his school of painting (Correggio, Parmigianino), his love for good food (Parma ham, salami, Parmigiano Reggiano, Lambrusco).
- Fidenza - The Cathedral of San Donnino, cathedral of the diocese, is rightfully included in the category of the great Romanesque cathedrals of Emilia, for example those of Parma and of Modena; it boasts an unfinished façade with statues and bas-reliefs by Benedetto Antelami and his school.
Itineraries
- Castles of the Duchy of Parma and Piacenza - Scattered over the Parma and Piacenza Apennines, but also present in the plain to guard the natural border of the Po, the numerous castles of the ancient Duchy of Parma and Piacenza characterize the whole area. Originally military bulwarks, many of them have kept the appearance of an inaccessible fortress, many have gradually transformed their war nature into a refined noble residence; all perpetuate over time the atmosphere of adventure, fairytale and legend that has always been linked to castles, many of which tell of the presence of spirits and ghosts.
