Rocca dei Terzi – Medieval Castle in Sissa Trecasali

Located in the historic centre of Sissa, in the province of Parma, Rocca dei Terzi is one of the most distinctive landmarks of the Bassa Parmense.

Originally built as a defensive fortress, the castle became the residence of the powerful Terzi family and was later transformed into an elegant noble palace.

Its imposing medieval tower, historic clock and beautifully decorated rooms reflect centuries of local history and architectural changes.

History and What to See

The castle preserves a fascinating combination of medieval and eighteenth-century architecture. Its most recognisable feature is the ancient tower, which rises above the village and offers a reminder of Sissa's fortified past.

Inside, visitors can discover historic decorations, frescoes and artistic details connected to the noble families who lived here.

Today, Rocca dei Terzi is an important cultural attraction for anyone interested in castles, history and the traditions of the Parma countryside.
