What travellers are saying
- mrstraveller1York, UK1,734 contributionsPiacenza is a very pleasurable, easy to navigate city & the Duomo is at its heart. There is no charge to pop in & it is very much worth a look. As is the Italian way, it is extremely dark & this adds to the majestic atmosphere of the place. The piazza which surrounds it has lots of cafes & various other churches are close by.Written 2 August 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- ludorIasi, Romania2,661 contributionsWhen I visited, there was an event taking place right in the Piazza Cavalli which made it very crowded and impossible to peacefully enjoy it. Anyway, the Palazzo Gotico and the two equestrian statues that give the name of the square as well as the other buildings are creating a really beautiful Italian piazza.Written 26 May 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- ludorIasi, Romania2,661 contributionsA little bit far from the city center but definitely worth the effort. An artistic and architectural gem with an important historical significance.Written 26 May 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Kooshyar NasrTrondheim, Norway10 contributionsNice place to visit the people spot in piacenza with some cool coffees and shops. We stop there for a coffee and enjoy the early day sun light and come back in night to explore but it was like a ghost place!!Written 3 January 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- travelsafer6,856 contributionsBeautiful building with an interesting history: its completion was halted by a plague and only one side was built. It stands in the central Piazza Cavalli and it is now the Municipal building. The bottom part of the building is made of pink marble stones and the top is made of red bricks. In a niche in the facade there is a statue of the Holy Virgin, it's a copy of the original made in the 13th century and currently kept in a local museum.Written 24 October 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- DanielCrema, Italy345 contributionsThe church was consecrated back in the Xth century. The crypt has 12th-century mosaics depicting the zodiac signs on a marine background. The presbytery has a contemporary mosaic showing battle scenes and a depiction of Christ.Written 30 March 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- 545medvaBudapest, Hungary3,972 contributionsAnother great church in Piacenza. Specifically the ceiling decoration was very nice. Here is the tomb of Margaret of AustriaWritten 19 October 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- DanielCrema, Italy345 contributionsThe Basilica has been built in the XIII century with a simple architecture. I invite all visitors to have a stop here.Written 30 March 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Carlotta CBrussels, Belgium15 contributionsI wound strongly recommend a visit to Fondazione Alberoni if you are in Piacenza. It is a beautiful place in itself to visit and has a small but precious collection of pictures belonged to Cardinal Alberoni. Among others, you may find the famous Eccentric Homo of Antonello da Messina, this is a masterpiece. It worth going there only to see this. If you are pilgrims on the Via Francigena, it is very practical to visit because it is on the way. Be careful because it is open only in the afternoon. The guided tour is done by motivated, passionate and professional guides. Don’t miss it!!Written 18 March 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- 545medvaBudapest, Hungary3,972 contributionsAs in many Italian city herre is also a great wonderful theater - opera house with very few program. I would organise daily visits as it is a real gem. We had the opportunity to wath a Simon Boccanegra - delightful evening.Written 16 October 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- travelsafer6,856 contributionsThese are two beautiful bronze statues in the central Piazza Cavalli in Piacenza. They sit on a marble base that has other bronze decorations and represent Alessandro Farnese and his son Ranuccio.Written 24 October 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Alessandro G441 contributionsMore than 3 km of pedestrian area under tall trees, just over old city walls. Full of people wlaking, chatting, palyng, jogging or dicking around. Very good point of view from the walls. It's a kind of hidden jam just next to downtownWritten 2 July 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Alessandro FMilan, Italy25,618 contributionsTogether with Ferrara, Piacenza has the ancient walls. Two-thirds of the 6,5 km are still visible.
They were built in 16th century under the government of Farnese’s family.Written 24 July 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - Alessandro FMilan, Italy25,618 contributionsFrom the imposing eighteenth-century neoclassical façade, one can see the presence of five internal naves (I could not verify because it was found closed), the beautiful façade was built to a design by Camillo Moriggia (the author of Dante's tomb in Ravenna).
The church and the convent of the Augustinian friars were built in 1550, the convent is now incorporated in the nearby Cantore barracksWritten 16 August 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
