Parma Charterhouse

The Parma Charterhouse is a complex of buildings located in the countryside just outside the city. For almost 500 years, it was the abode of the Carthusian Order. Across history, several accidents destroyed great part of the original structures, but today it still houses the original ancient sacristy, some Renaissance furniture and numerous frescoes, altars and capitals. You are always welcome to visit the cloister, and occasionally you can go deeper into the inner parts of the complex.
