Modena Cathedral
Modena Cathedral rewards a close look at Romanesque carving on its exterior before a quieter visit to the nave and crypt.
Why go
The sculpted façade tells stories in stone, while the adjacent Ghirlandina tower fixes the building within Piazza Grande. Enter to compare the darker interior with the bright square. The cathedral is a specific religious building, not a substitute for exploring all of Modena.
What to look for
Romanesque stone façade.
Wiligelmo reliefs.
Useful to know
Check worship access before visiting the interior.
