An early Christian church, probably built over a pre-Christian sanctuary, stood on the site of today's cathedral square from the 4th or 5th century. From 860 onwards, the Church of St. Mary was built nearby, which became the cathedral. After its destruction by fire, construction of the present cathedral began in 1074 in several phases. The bell tower was built between 1284 and 1294 in the Gothic style. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dom_von_Parma

A building of great historical value built in the 16th century, Palazzo Tarasconi is today recognized as a center of art and culture, as well as being a suggestive location for events.   Palazzo Tarasconi, also known as Palazzo Soragna Tarasconi, is a building with Renaissance forms,  a large palace was built towards the end of the 16th century at the behest of the brothers Scipione and Alessandro Tarasconi, probably based on a design by Giovanni Francesco Testa, incorporating part of the pre-existing 14th-century buildings, with an articulated shape. Following the architect's death, he was almost certainly succeeded by Giovanni Battista Magnani, who intervened in the important expansion, after 1604, concerning the west wing of the building and the entire southern portion on the current road to Ponte Caprazucca, where the pre-existing portico was demolished. Already around the middle of the 17th century, a new architect intervened, who created the characteristic spiral staircase in the southwest corner of the central courtyard and raised the windows on the external facades of the highest floor of the building, which however remained unfinished. In 1857, the last Count Luigi Tarasconi, without direct descendants, named the Marquis Luigi Lupo Meli Lupi di Soragna as his universal heir, who the following year added the surname Tarasconi to his own, uniting the coats of arms of the two families. In 1860, the first headquarters of the Cassa di Risparmio di Parma was inaugurated inside the building, which later moved to the building in Piazza Garibaldi. Finally, between the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th, the rear facade of the building, open to the rear, was slightly changed and some internal modifications were made. In 2014, the Marquises Meli Lupi di Soragna Tarasconi sold the palace to the entrepreneur Corrado Galloni, who the following year began the restoration of the entire structure.

The monument to the Barricades of 1922 is made up of three essential laminated wood frames that support granite slabs engraved with texts and images relating to the narration of the days of August 1922 as in a sort of stone book. The pedagogical discourse of the stone book insists above all on the reading of the Barricades as a unitary and compact reaction of an entire community. The monument, inaugurated in 1997, was designed by the architect Luca Monica, who was assigned the task of renovating the entire area of Piazzale Rondani.
