Torrechiara Castle is a 15th-century castle near Langhirano, in the province of Parma, northern Italy. It stands on a terraced hill south of Parma, overlooking the Parma River valley. Pier Maria II de' Rossi, fourth count of San Secondo, commissioned it, and it was built between 1448 and 1460 with the influence of the Sforza castles, notably Visconti-Sforza Castle. It has been managed by the Polo Museale dell'Emilia Romagna since 2015.
