El monumento más importante quizá sea la catedral (o Duomo) de estilo románico, en cuya cúpula se encuentra un famoso fresco sobre la Asunción de la Virgen pintado por Correggio. Junto a la catedral se sitúa el baptisterio, obra maestra del arquitecto y escultor Benedetto Antelami. La ciudad alberga, entre otros, el teatro de ópera Teatro Regio y el pequeño Teatro Farnesio, completamente en madera. Es también conocida por su industria agroalimentaria. Dos grandes empresas alimentarias de esta ciudad son Parmalat y Barilla.

 

Entre las especialidades gastronómicas de la ciudad se encuentran el queso parmesano o parmigiano reggiano (que comparte con Reggio Emilia) y el jamón de Parma.
