The Pallavicino Castle of Varano De' Melegari stands on a sandstone rock, in a strategic position for the control of the Ceno valley, and represents an exceptional example of medieval defensive architecture: a fortress designed and built with the aim of being impregnable.
Built at the dawn of the 11th century by the Pallavicino family, the manor owes its mainly 15th-century appearance to the expansion and strengthening interventions carried out by order of Galeazzo Visconti, but it differs from the other Parma castles of the time especially for the peculiar and ingenious defensive system of the entrance, equipped with three massive towers aligned on the same side and the gate inserted in a secluded position at the base of the central tower.
