The little village of Calestano is near Baganza stream.  


Why visit it

Nowadays, Calestano is a small commercial and industrial centre. The old centre, however, with its stone buildings from the 15 - 18th centuries, are a testimony to the long history of the town. The village is along the "Strada del Prosciutto e dei vini dei colli" (Parma ham and wines from the hills road).
