Piazza Grande — Attraction in Modena

Recently, I had the pleasure of travelling to Modena's Piazza Grande, and I must tell that it was an amazing experience. The city's centre is home to this sizable, ancient square, which is encircled by some of the most exquisite buildings I've ever seen.

Even though I live in Modena and have been to Piazza Grande numerous times, I continue to be in awe of its beauty and allure. The magnificent cathedral, an architectural wonder that is undoubtedly worth a visit, dominates the square. The cathedral's interior is as stunning, including a soaring vault and lovely stained glass windows, as does the exterior, which is embellished with elaborate carvings and sculptures.

But Piazza Grande's attractions don't stop at the cathedral. The historic Palazzo Comunale, Modena's municipal hall, is also located on the Piazza. The palace is a magnificent example of Renaissance design, and it is embellished with exquisite sculptures and murals.

In addition to these historic structures, Piazza Grande is a wonderful location to unwind and take in the city's ambiance. The square is filled with cafes and eateries where you can sit outside and take in the sights while drinking a cappuccino or eating a delectable meal.

Bellissima piazza adiacente al Duomo ed al Palazzo Comunale. Patrimonio del UNESCO! In un angolo della piazza, di fronte l'ingresso del Palazzo Comunale, vi è situata la Preda Ringadora: una grossa pietra rettangolare rialzata sulla quale, tantissimi anni fa, veniva utilizzata per arringhe e comizi pubblici, oppure, nel '400 per umiliare pubblicamente, soprattutto in giorni di mercato, i debitori onerosi (o incalliti) venendo, infatti, chiamata la pietra del disonore. Al centro della piazza, sotto il ciotolato, venne rinvenuta anni fa, durante scavi di ristrutturazione, una abitato etrusco. Nell'angolo destro del Palazzo Comunale, che dà su via Castellaro, vi è collocata, all'altezza del 1° piano circa, la "Bunessma" (la Bonissima): una statua di piccole dimensioni (137cm) che simboleggia e protegge i buoni commercianti; infatti, tanti anni fa, la piazza ed i portici sotto il Palazzo Comunale, erano adibiti...
