Modena — Duomo e Ghirlandina

Emilia-Romagna

Modena's cathedral, together with its central piazza and the leaning Ghirlandina tower, forms one of the finest surviving examples of Romanesque architecture in Italy, recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The flat streets around it are easy, level walking through the heart of the balsamic-vinegar-producing city.
