Fidenza

Fidenza: the centuries-old pilgrimage destination along Via Francigena

As you travel along the Via Francigena, a wonderful stretch through the pre-Apennine hills of Parma, Italy, you will come across Fidenza, an elegant city of art and culture and one of the most popular sites in the Terre Verdiane. 

The Cathedral of Fidenza, a masterpiece of Romanesque-Paduan architecture, is the icon of the city and undoubtedly its most renowned building. This charming town also hosts buildings of historical and artistic interest, such as the Magnani Theatre, the Church of San Michele and the Museo del Risorgimento "Luigi Musini" museum.
