Ducal Chapel of San Liborio

The Ducal Chapel of San Liborio is a Catholic place of worship characterized by neoclassical forms, located at Via Roma 3 in Colorno, within the province and Diocese of Parma, behind the grand Ducal Palace. Originally built in 1722 as a palatine chapel on the initiative of Duke Francesco Farnese, likely designed by Giuliano Mozzani, the church was rebuilt between 1775 and 1777 under the patronage of Duke Ferdinand I, possibly by Gaspare Turbini, who drew inspiration from Ennemond Alexandre Petitot's 1754 designs. Between 1789 and 1792, it was expanded by an unidentified architect, possibly Pietro Cugini, Donnino Ferrari, Louis-Auguste Feneulle, or Domenico Cossetti. The chapel is regarded, for the integrity of its forms, as a "monument of neoclassical art" and one of the churches housing the greatest number of artworks in the diocese.
