Fortress of Sala Baganza

The fortress, which dominates the town square, belonged to the Sanvitale family from the thirteenth century to the beginning of the seventeenth century, when it passed to the Farnese family. From 1676 it served as a holiday resort for guests of the Collegio dei Nobili.

The Fortress of Sala Baganza is decorated with remarkable frescos painted in the fifteen and the seventeen centuries. A Wine Museum, dedicated to the Parma’s wines, is hosted in the enchanting atmosphere of the cellar. The Farnese’s Garden covers an area at the foot of the castle.

Marie Luise Haspurg Lorraine, Empress of the French people and Duchess of Parma, Piacenza and Guastalla (Vienna 1791—Parma 1847), was the wife of Napoleon Bonaparte. She lived in Sala Baganza with her two children.
