Castle of Agazzano is a fortification in Val Luretta, Piacenza area, which is located on a spot of gentle drop, where the last hilly offshoots leave space to plain lands. The actual landscape dates back to 1475 when riedification processes took place on 13^th centuries structures thanks to the Scotti family, who repossessed the building after various events spread in a pair of centuries. It presents itself like a compact structure formed by two buildings, whose story, use and aspect are completely different: The Renaissance fortress and the 18^th century palace.
The castle is surrounded by a wide French style garden terrace, which is built on two levels decorated with mythological statues, fountains and rare plants introduced at the beginning of the 19^th century.
It belongs to “Associazione dei Castelli del Ducato di Parma e Piacenza” circuit and the castle, its garden and its cellar are opened to visitors, but it is necessary to book previously.
