Parma was already a built-up area in the [[Bronze Age]]. In the current position of the city rose a [[Terramare culture|terramare]].<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.emiliaromagnaturismo.it/it/archeologia/terramare.html| title = Archaeology in Emilia Romagna page.}}</ref> The "terramare" (marl earth) were ancient villages built of wood on piles according to a defined scheme and squared form; constructed on dry land and generally in proximity to the rivers. During this age (between 1500 BC and 800 BC) the first [[necropolis|necropoleis]] (on the sites of the present-day Piazza Duomo and Piazzale della Macina) were constructed.
