Parma — Battistero e Duomo
Emilia-Romagna
Parma's baptistery, faced entirely in pale pink Verona marble and octagonal in plan, stands beside the cathedral with its famous Correggio-frescoed dome, together forming one of the most admired medieval ensembles in northern Italy. The surrounding streets are flat, level and easy, in a city also known for its cured ham and cheese.
