Modena City Tour: Discovering the Romanesque Cathedral and UNESCO Treasures

In the monumental heart of Modena, the Modena City Tour: Treasures of the Cathedral comes to life, a fascinating guided walk to admire the monumental complex of Piazza Grande, a UNESCO World Heritage site.

The itinerary, available from September 1 to October 31, 2026, leads visitors to discover the grand Romanesque Cathedral, a true pinnacle of European medieval architecture born from the genius of architect Lanfranco and enriched by Wiligelmo’s famous stone sculptures.

The walk illustrates the history of the biblical reliefs carved in stone, the architectural details of the slender Ghirlandina Tower, the city’s civic symbol, and the most evocative views around the Town Hall.

An unmissable opportunity to immerse yourself in the medieval origins and extraordinary cultural heritage of Modena.
