This wonderful medieval village can be fully enjoyed only by walking along its streets.
The atmosphere is unique.

La Collegiata is a church devoted to Mother Mary located in the main square of medieval Castell'Arquato.
This church dates back to 758 AC, but it was completely rebuilt after the hearthquake that devastated the area in 1117.
The church can be visited for free, and it is definitely worthy!

This palace was built in 1292 and then underwent continuous modifications untill the mid-1400s.
Nowadays, the palace is the Town Hall seat, but it also hosts the town wine cellar.
We did not enter the palace, but we saw that it was open for tourists.

This tower is built on the basis of the Roman castrum quadratum (III century BC) and was finished in 1349. The tallest tower was an important observation point on Milan, the sourrounding Pianura Padana and the Apennines. The view is still breathtaking!
What remains today is the perimeter and the four defensive towers. Unfortunely only the Eastern tower is still undamaged and can be visited together with the Medieval museum hosted inside.
