Castello di Paderna, which has existed since the 11th century, was ceded in 1453 by the monks of the monastery of San Savino in Piacenza to the Marazzani family, whose descendants owned it. The complex has a trapezoidal structure surrounded by a moat that preserves the presence of water. Inside the moat, but isolated from the other buildings, is the keep, which has an independent entrance and was originally equipped with its own drawbridge.

Gropparello Castle

Highlight • Castle

The castle was born as a medieval fortification in the Vezzeno Valley. The manor, surrounded by Guelph battlements, is defended by towers, the entrance one with a drawbridge and the mighty central keep. The Castle of Gropparello, known in ancient times as "Rocca di Cagnano", is a characteristic example of a medieval fortification built to defend the access route to a valley, conceived as a true eagle's nest overlooking the cliff, and therefore absolutely unassailable .. The oldest document known so far about Gropparello dates back to the year 810, and is the deed with which the emperor Charlemagne granted the place as a fief to the then bishop of Piacenza Giuliano II.
