What to expect
Castello Di Torrechiara
2h · Admission ticket included
Private guided tour to Torrechiara castle, built between 1448 and 1460 by Pier Maria Rossi. The manor had a defensive purpose, shown by three layers of walls and four corner towers, and still a leisure character, shown by the gorgeous frescoes by Cesare Baglione and Benedetto Bembo. The amazing "Camera d'Oro", ascribed to the last one, celebrates the love story between Pier Maria Rossi and Bianca Pellegrini, together with the family power, since all the castles ruled by the Count are represented.
The tour will go through the stables, the ancient kitchens, the main court, Saint NIcomede's Chapel and the frescoed halls.
