The Duomo di Parma, is one of the four major Romanesque cathedrals that line the Via Emilia from Piacenza to Modena. Like the others it has been altered over time, and perhaps the sixteenth century frescoes remove a lot of the medieval atmosphere. The famous Baptistry, is a junction between Romanesque and Gothic.

The most important artist who worked here in the medieval period was Benedetto Antelami whose "Deposizione" is an early precursor of Gothic sculpture. Just a fragment survives of a much larger work.

Benedetto Antelami is also present in the Baptistry with his "months" cycle of sculptures, which show the activities typical for each month in his agricultural society.
