Province of Modena Essentials

Modena sits at the intersection of high-performance engineering and centuries-old culinary tradition. The city’s heart is defined by the UNESCO-listed Romanesque Cathedral and the Ghirlandina tower, while the Enzo Ferrari Museum and nearby Ferrari Museum in Maranello celebrate the region's "Motor Valley" heritage. Visitors can explore the 17th-century Ducal Palace, sample artisanal balsamic vinegar at the municipal acetaia, or browse the Art Nouveau stalls of the Albinelli Market. Beyond the center, the medieval Nonantola Abbey and Formigine Castle offer insights into the province's monastic and defensive history.
