Corte di Giarola welcomes the head offices of Taro River Regional Park. It is situated at about 15 km from Parma and 2 km from the town of Collecchio.
The ancient monastic complex dating back to the Middle Ages was acquired as a public property in 1998 and the offices were terminated in 1999. They were inaugurated on 24th May 1999 by the Minister of the Environment at that time, Edo Ronchi.
Since then, a continous and gradual work of restoration has given the opportunity to recover many spaces which are dedicated to different activities:

(the following links lead to Italian texts)

• the Visitor Center with the route "Sotto il segno dell'acqua"
• the Auditorium
• the Environmental Education Center
• the Infopoint dedicated to wine and gastronomy
• the Historical Lab on the Resitance Movement
• the Restaurant to welcome tourists

In 2007 two important buildings undergoing structural and functional recovery have been opened:

• Museo del Pomodoro, still to be completed
• the Theater, inaugurated in September 2007, with the first theater season 2007/2008

In the future, the works will also involve the outer buildings facing the Taro.
