The town of Castell’Arquato

Attributed an orange flag by the Touring Club Italia , Castell’Arquato offers the visitor its terracotta buildings, its suggestive narrow lanes and  signs of his glorious past from its foundation in Roman times to  later days under the Sforza family. A pleasant walk begins at the town gate and  upwinds uphill by the little church of St. Peter, the Church of St. Stephen, the Geological Museum and the museum dedicated to the opera libretto writer Illica. On top of the village one can see the Visconti Castle dates back to the XIVth  century, enter the tower and from its top    enjoy breathtaking view of the valley.

Another building which rises over the town is the Collegiata, with its Romanesque form and warm sandstone colours;  looking around the apse you will notice fossil shells inside the stone.
