THE MODENA ROUND - STOP BY STOP

HOLE 1 - PAR 3

Duomo di Modena

The Duomo di Modena is a cathedral built in the Romanesque architecture style. Wiligelmo and Lanfranco are architects of the building, which is recognized as an Italian national heritage site and a World Heritage Site. This church is dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin Mary and Saint Geminianus. Since 1986, the cathedral has functioned as the archiepiscopal seat of the Archdiocese of Modena-Nonantola. You can pick out the specific structural details that define its Romanesque character as you approach the entrance. The building is a minor basilica and a church building that remains a central point of the city. Its designation as a World Heritage Site ensures that the architectural contributions of its creators are preserved for all who visit the site today.

Teatro Storchi

This isn't a modern cinema or a concert hall, but Teatro Storchi, a traditional theatre building. It is a site of Italian national heritage that stands as a key cultural point in Modena. When you look at the structure, you are seeing the work of its architect, Vincenzo Maestri. I've spent plenty of time watching the crowds gather here from the rooftops, and it always feels like the heart of the neighborhood. Whether you are interested in the performing arts or simply appreciate the city's historic architecture, this building is a stop you cannot miss on your walk through the city. It is one of those places where the facade tells a story of its own, making it a great landmark to aim for during your tour.

Palazzo Ducale

You might expect this grand building to be a museum, but it is actually a working military site. The Palazzo Ducale is a baroque palazzo that currently houses a portion of the Italian Military Academy. It is an Italian national heritage site designed by the architect Bartolomeo Avanzini. If you look at the history of the city, you can pick out its role as the former residence of the Este Dukes of Modena between 1452 and 1859. I always find the transition from a ducal home to a military academy quite a shift in atmosphere. It remains one of the most striking examples of its architectural style in the area.

Museo Enzo Ferrari

I can show you to the Museo Enzo Ferrari right here in Modena. This industry museum is a major draw for the city, bringing in 200,000 annual visitors. You will find a permanent exhibition that displays rare cars of the 1950s, Formula One race cars and more recent sports cars. The site is a mix of old and new; it includes a former house and workshop that belonged to Enzo Ferrari's father, alongside a new building designed by the architectural practice Future Systems. Jan Kaplický is the architect of the museum, and the new building covers 6,000 square metres. It is a great spot to see how automotive history is preserved in Italy. I usually see a few other birds hanging around the entrance, probably hoping for a stray crumb from the crowds.

The site is officially designated as Italian national heritage, ensuring that these pieces are protected for future generations. It is a great spot to slow down and look at the details of the masonry. I find the textures of the old stone quite interesting to look at from the air, especially when the sun hits the carvings just right.

Chiesa di Santa Maria Pomposa

You will find the Chiesa di Santa Maria Pomposa in Modena. This church building is recognized as Italian national heritage. While it sits within the city now, the church of Santa Maria della Pomposa was once located at the edge of the city walls. The name of the church derives from the Pomposa Abbey. That abbey is located near the delta of the Po River. Visitors can observe the structure today as a piece of the city's history, knowing that its origins are linked to that distant abbey near the river delta.
