Among the most important monuments of Parma it is impossible not to refer to the Duomo (built starting from 1059) which represents a splendid historical building in Roman style. It was in fact decorated with precious inlays and frescoes of famous and famous personalities of that period.
In particular, the dome of the Cathedral with its beautiful frescoes dates back to the sixteenth century and is the work of Correggio who created The Assumption of the Virgin.

The building has an octagonal shape and was made of marble, more precisely with the pink marble of Verona.
