Castles & Palaces

This collection highlights the architectural heritage of the Province of Modena, spanning from the 11th to the 17th centuries. It features the grand Baroque ducal palaces of Modena and Sassuolo, designed by Bartolomeo Avanzini for the House of Este. Complementing these are robust medieval fortresses like the Rocca di Vignola, known for its intricate frescoes, and the Castello di Spezzano, which now houses a ceramics museum. These sites illustrate the region's transition from defensive military strongholds to opulent noble residences.
