Description

The castle of Bardi, also called the Landi castle, is an imposing fortification standing on a "rock" of red jasper in the town of the same name in the province of Parma.

Set in the middle of the Ceno valley, the building overlooks the point where the Noveglia stream flows into the Ceno. Although the village's location seems remote today and away from commercial and tourist routes, in the Middle Ages, when routes and the needs of controlling the territory were different, it was an important stop on one of the many variants of the Via Francigena.
