Piacenza's History and Curiosities

Founded by the Romans in 218 BC under the name Placentia, the city played a crucial role in history, being at the center of important communication routes. It earned the nickname "Primogenita" for being the first city to vote for annexation to the Kingdom of Sardinia in 1848. Piacenza is an architectural treasure, from the imposing Palazzo Gotico in Piazza Cavalli to its numerous noble palaces. Equally important is its role in food and wine, with its famous PDO cured meats (Coppa, Salame, and Pancetta) and the richness of its wines, such as Gutturnio and Ortrugo, making it an unmissable destination for lovers of fine dining.

For Your Strolls in the Surroundings

The province of Piacenza offers breathtaking landscapes that range from the banks of the Po to the first Apennine foothills. Do not miss the opportunity to walk along the famous Via Francigena, which crosses the territory, or to explore the green Piacenza valleys (Val Trebbia, Val Nure, Val d'Arda) with their enchanting villages and the Castelli del Ducato di Parma e Piacenza (Castles of the Duchy). These medieval fortresses, such as the Castello di Grazzano Visconti or the Rocca d'Olgisio, are perfect for day trips dedicated to history and nature.

Must-See Monuments and Places of Interest

The heart of Piacenza beats in Piazza Cavalli, dominated by the magnificent Palazzo Gotico and the two equestrian statues dedicated to the Farnese dukes. Unmissable is the Duomo (Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta), a Romanesque masterpiece with frescoes by Guercino, and the nearby Basilica of Sant'Antonino, the city's patron saint. Palazzo Farnese, home to the Civic Museums, and the Teatro Municipale, a splendid example of neoclassical architecture, are also well worth a visit. The streets of the historic center, with their arcades, provide an ideal setting for shopping and soaking up the authentic Piacenza atmosphere. And after a day exploring the treasures of the "Primogenita," your B&B HOTEL Piacenza Magazzini Generali awaits you for a well-deserved break and relaxation.
