Monastero di San Giovanni Evangelista
Outside visit and will not entering the attractions. Saint John the Evangelist of Parma, known as San Giovanni Evangelista, is a venerated Roman Catholic saint who is also associated with another John the Baptist.

Saint John the Evangelist of Parma is one of the most famous saints of the city, and his feast day is celebrated on October 25. The earliest known record of the existence of a John the Baptist in Parma is from around 1220. The saint's cult existed in a small way before that date, but it was not until 1883 that an official process for his canonization began.

The inscriptions with the name John Baptiste of Parma (which, in Italian Giovanni Bapista da Parma) first appear in 1220. The first mention of his cult is from 1398 in a letter by the bishop of Ingelheim. The most ancient records, however, date back to 1358 when he is mentioned as "Blessed John, the clerk" by the Benedictine monastery of Fuligno.

Basilica di San Petronio
The history of this basilica is fascinating. In fact, its construction dates back to 1390 and it was the place where Charles V was crowned.

However, the enlargements of this construction were stopped by orders of the papal authorities, since it was very close to being a basilica as big as St. Peter's in Rome.

Despite this historical episode, the basilica of San Petronio is the fifth largest in the world.
