Modena

Piazza Grande is without a doubt the largest and most important square in Modena. It is of course located in the historical center of the town, and here we find the cathedral, as well as the neighboring and beautiful bell tower Ghirlandina.

The reason this city was honored in 1997 when it made it onto the UNESCO world heritage list, is in no small part due to Piazza Grande, the cathedral and the bell tower.

Visiting Piazza Grande, one can feel tempted to say it feels like going back to the middle ages. The square was created as more and more grand and differently styled buildings were built up around it. It took more than 200 years, from the start of building on the Duomo and Torre Ghirlandina, before the square was finished. Very impressive! Can we recommend a great place to eat? Look no further than Caffé & Samuleria, a fantastic, authentic and pleasant place, offering world class service.
