Arte e cultura a Modena

Churches and Places of Worship

Modena's old town is full of churches worth a short visit beyond the cathedral. Several hold life-size terracotta groups by the local Renaissance sculptors Guido Mazzoni and Antonio Begarelli. The list also includes the Votive Church, built after the plague of 1630, and the 19th-century synagogue on Piazza Mazzini.
