Chiesa della Santissima Annunziata

Unusual Parma church with a broad oval plan and a quiet Oltretorrente setting.

Chiesa della Santissima Annunziata sits in Parma's Oltretorrente district, across the river from the most polished central sights. Its broad, unusual plan and calm interior make it a worthwhile detour if you are already exploring this side of the city.

The church is not in the same league as the cathedral or baptistery, but it helps round out Parma's religious architecture. Come for a short look, then keep wandering Oltretorrente, where the city feels more lived-in and less arranged around its famous monuments.
