One of the highlights in the artistic heritage of the area around Modena is undoubtedly its Romanesque art - a style that found its roots in the Roman world inspiring its themes, figurative motifs and expression of the great large religious and civil ferment around the year 1000.

Modena Cathedral is an undisputed masterpiece - the landmark work of a great architect (Lanfranco) and a great master sculptor (Wiligelmo).

In 1997, the Cathedral, the Ghirlandina Bell Tower and Piazza Grande were deservedly recognised by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
