Modena City Tour

 
 
 

Modena lies in Emilia Romagna at the foot of the Apennines completely surrounded by the Rivers Secchia and Panaro. The city experienced splendour during the Middle Age as the Duomo and the Market Place show as very important examples of Romanesque architecture inItalyand its success continued becoming the capital of the Este’s Duchy, when the Family of Este leaved banishedFerraraand transferred inModenatheir court. Nowadays it’s still important as head quarter of the car factory district and ceramic production, but also for its very tasteful cuisine.

The classic guided tour will begin with the visit of the famous Duomo. It was designed by architect Lanfranco in 1099 and it was decorated with several Wiligelmo’s sculptures. The history of the human being from the Eden is here preciously represented in a series of symbols and fantastic creatures, that can’t leave the audience cold. A big Square is the evocative setting of this building, that with the Ghirlandina Tower – the cathedral bell tower- is the real landmark of the city. Onto the same square gives also the Palazzo Comunale (the town hall), which is worth visiting, because there you could admire the remains of the ancient powerful city Government.
The tour will go on with the visit of the Palazzo Ducale, the Palace where the Dukes of Este lived with their court. It was built in 1634 and it’s one of the most famous examples of Italian Baroque palaces. Nowadays it’s the seat of the Italian Army’sMilitaryAcademy and it’s possible to visit it only during the traditional Army’s day parade or by request on Sunday morning.

You could decide to continue discovering Modenaand its surroundings in the afternoon with the visit of the Benedictine Abbey of Nonantola, a small town between Modena and Ferrara. The building is absolutely full of atmosphere and inside it is kept a great archive rich in documents, among that there are also a paper signed by Carlo Magnus and a Gospel owned by the Countess Matilde of Canossa. Going along the street between Modena and Carpi to the parish church of St. Maria in Castello and the ones of Ganaceto is also worth the trip to finish in the best way the itinerary of theModena medieval background!
