YOUR STAY IN MODENA
Modena (Mòdna in Modenese dialect, from the Etruscan Mutna, later changed to Mutina by the Romans) is an Italian town of 185,148 citizens [2], capital of the province of the same name in Emilia-Romagna.
The city of Modena was the capital of the Este Duchy from 1598 to 1859 and is an ancient university town and archbishopric.
Since 1947, the city has also been the site (in the Ducal Palace) of the Military Academy of the Army and of the Carabinieri.
The Cathedral, the Civic Tower, and the Piazza Grande of the city were included, in 1997, in the list of Italian World Heritage Sites by UNESCO.
The city is located approximately in the center of the province, of which it is the capital, in the Po Valley, in a completely flat area. Two rivers surround it without crossing it: the Secchia and the Panaro, whose importance for the city is also testified by the presence of the Fountain of the Two Rivers, by the Modenese sculptor Giuseppe Graziosi, located in Largo Garibaldi.

The Naviglio canal, which flows into the Panaro river in Bomporto, was born within the city. Once accessible to river transport, the canal is now underground and inaccessible within the city. Once accessible to river transport, the canal is now underground and not accessible within the city.
GHIRLANDINA
The tower, at 86.12 meters high, is clearly visible to the traveler who arrives in the city from any cardinal point. The tower is the true symbol of Modena.
The Civic Tower, together with the cathedral and the Piazza Grande, was included in 1997 in the list of Italian World Heritage Sites by UNESCO.
The original Tower of San Geminiano, with a square plan, raised on five floors by 1179, was then raised again in the following two centuries (for reasons including the rivalry with the Bolognese towers) with the introduction of the characteristic octagonal tip, according to a design by Arrigo da Campione, one of the many “Campionesi masters” who between the thirteenth and fifteenth centuries updated the style of the cathedral to the new Gothic taste. The tip is decorated with two garlands, namely two marble railings, hence the name.

DUOMO DI MODENA
In the crypt of the cathedral are the relics of the saint, preserved in a simple 4th-century urn covered with a stone plate and supported by bare columns. The sarcophagus, kept in a crystal case, is opened every year on the Feast of the Saint himself (January 31), and his remains, dressed in bishop’s robes with the crosier beside them, are exposed to the devotion of the worshippers.
Next to the cathedral stands the bell tower called the Ghirlandina.
