The Francigena Road crossed Collecchio, called \u201cColliculum\u201d in medieval times. This belonged to the bishops of Parma. The Church of Saint Prospero was built in the XI century and largely remodeled in 1200, and it still has the cotto majolica decorations in the central apse and the original capitals in the interior space, featuring zoomorphic figures and dating from the XI-XIII century. In the left nave, a bass relief in white marble depicting the Baptism of Christ is preserved, a work by a master from Campione from the XII century. A nice place to visit, the Nevicati Villa from the 1800s is surrounded by the park by the same name in which centuries old trees can be found.
\nIn the surroundings of Collecchio, just beyond the urban area, Strada Conventino, the road bending on the left, allows to enter the Park of the Woods of Carrega. An ancient hunting reserve of the Farnese and Borbone nobles, it features interesting historical buildings, a number of lakes and important botanical stations. Today it is a Regional Park equipped for visitors and open to the public for visits and trail excursions.<\/p>\n<\/div>
