Castelvetro
The territory of Castelvetro di Modena is full of charm and history. The center of the town rises on a hill in the valley of the Guerro stream and offers the visitor an extremely suggestive view, thanks to the profile of its towers and palaces. Going a few kilometers further you reach the village of Levizzano Rangone, dominated by the imposing castle. Along the way you cannot miss a stop at the ancient Oratory of San Michele, a monument of great interest, whose origins are lost over the centuries.
Terre di Castelli
The territory at the foot of the hills, between Modena and the valley of the Panaro river, is a place where history left important traces: castles, palaces and ancient villages to be discovered. A short distance from Opera 02, centers such as Vignola, Spilamberto and Savignano offer many ideas and suggestions to visitors who want to immerse themselves in history and find real little treasures.
Modena
A city of pre-Roman origin, Modena boasts a historical and cultural heritage that today offers visitors a centuries old center to be discovered. Famous for its Romanesque Cathedral, a masterpiece that made school in medieval Italy, Modena has been the capital of the Este Duchy since the end of the 16th century, an era of which it still proudly bears important traces.
Bologna
Founded by the Etruscans with the name of Felsina, Bologna boasts a center rich in medieval buildings and monuments. Known for its towers, for its arcades for its Gothic churches, Bologna amazes the visitor for its offer of places to know and discover, for its views, for its palaces and for its museums.
