Das Beste in Emilia-Romagna

Emilia-Romagna Essentials

Emilia-Romagna spans from the medieval towers and ancient food markets of Bologna to the UNESCO-listed Byzantine mosaics of Ravenna. This collection features the Romanesque cathedrals of Modena and Parma, the moated Castello Estense in Ferrara, and the 15th-century Malatestiana Library in Cesena. Automotive heritage is showcased at the Enzo Ferrari Museum, while religious landmarks include the hilltop Sanctuary of San Luca and the Gothic Basilica of San Petronio, which houses one of the world's longest solar meridian lines.
