the old village
Val D'Arda mini tourThe tour could be longer but today I would like to stop in an amazing little town in Val d'Arda. I went here last week and I felt like to be in an unique and magical place. The name? Castell'Arquato ( Piacenza). I don't know why but my GPS didn't recognize the location. Obviously! It is in a parallel word, out of all. Joking aside Castell'Arquato is a medieval bourg. In this little town there is Visconti Stronghold. The stronghold with its two towers , dominates the village and Val d'Arda. The tower stands above the entire complex, keystone of urban defence and the surveillance system over the whole valley. All the village is a special place. So take your time and stroll around all this magical place. Here the pics I made for you.

At last I have arrived in the main square Castell'Arquato
I have seen every corner of this main square!
There were so many persons because there was a marriage.
