Palazzo Comunale
The 13th-century town hall.
Governor's Palace
With a façade dating to 1760 and an astronomical clock.
A prominent Renaissance church.
The baptistery was designed by Benedetto Antelami and is constructed from a pink marble called rosso di Verona. The marble appears to change color depending on how the sun hits it. It is one of the most recognized medieval structures in the country.
Monastery of San Giovanni Evangelista
The church has a Baroque facade, while the convent and it's cloisters are in Renaissance style.
Duomo
The cathedral and the adjacent baptistery were built in the late 12th century. The frescoes inside the building are very moving, as well as the relief sculptures on the interior stone. The painting inside the dome of the cathedral is one of the most remarkable paintings of the Renaissance. Entitled Assumption of the Virgin by Correggio, it shows the Virgin Mary being taken up to Heaven. For dramatic effect it is superior to the Sistine Chapel and Titian himself is reputed to have acknowledged that he could not have achieved this effect. The prior who commissioned the work was rather conservative and Correggio never worked in Parma again.
