Designed by Benedetto Antelami, and built between 1196 and 1216, the Baptistery of Parma is one of the most important monuments of the transition from Romanesque to early Gothic architecture. The octagonal structure, in pink Verona marble, includes four tiers of open loggias with architraved portals.
The cupola of the Baptistery was frescoed in the third decade of the 13th century by craftsmen from the Po river region, influenced by Byzantine iconographic models.

Borgo degli StudiRemarkable body of public buildings, Piazzale della Pace has been recently redesigned on a project by one of the most popular architects in Europe, Mario Botta, rapidly becoming a meeting point for young people.
Botta's high degree of sensitivity to the environment hosting his architectural creations, has brought together contradictory elements, combining the massive Pilotta palace on the west side with a meadow, tall trees and a fountain on the sites bombed during the war.
On the northern side of the square stands the Intendenza palace, designed by Ennemond Petitot, architect at the court of Marie Louise.
