Modena Essentials

Modena's historic centre is defined by the UNESCO-listed Romanesque Cathedral, the Ghirlandina bell tower and the town hall on Piazza Grande. The Este dukes left the Ducal Palace and the art collection of the Galleria Estense. The Enzo Ferrari Museum tells the story of the city's most famous son, while the Teatro Comunale and Luciano Pavarotti's house museum recall its opera heritage. For food, the covered Albinelli Market and Osteria Francescana are the city's best-known addresses.
