Not the biggest Duomo but the market and the stores around the duoma is a must to check out. Inside was gorgeous as any other chuch in Italy. We were here on a weekend so it was super busy and packed everywhere. Most of the restaurants we liked was reservations only around the duomo. Be prepared to make some reservations before you meal times. read more

Duomo di Modena is a Roman Catholic cathedral in Modena, Italy, dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin Mary and Saint Geminianus. It is a must visit when visiting the City of Modena as it is an important Romanesque building in Europe and a World Heritage Site. I guess every visitors in town has the same idea as it was packed! Just like all the churches in Italy, it was under constant renovation so a lot of the interior was covered or roped off during my visit. Luckily, the crypt was opened which is the burial site of Saint Geminianus, Modena's patron saint, with his remains still on displays. The exterior was nicely restored bringing back to its glory days with detailed sculpture and architecture details. Free entry is a plus! read more
