The Citadel is a military fortress with a pentagonal shape, built around 1591 by the Duke Alessandro Farnese and finished in 1599 by Duke Ranuccio Farnese.
Born as a defensive fortress, it has ramparts and moats; it was used as a prison, barracks, and also as a place of executions.
Now the Cittadella is a public park with children's games, space for outdoors sports (a favorite place for walkers and not); Here the children have fun and can unleash their imagination, without cars or more to prevent them from playing.
