Modena’s largest square

Aug 2024 • Family

Piazza Roma is the first square one reaches in a walk from the railway station to the city centre. Approached from the side its size is quite unexpected. It is dominated by the Palazzo Ducale, Italy’s first Baroque palace and used as a military academy.

Good place to relax & people-watch

Jul 2019 • Couples

A few blocks off Via Emilia, this Piazza is fairly large with fountains, restaurants, shops & a gelateria nearby. On Friday & Saturday evenings there are often talented street performers providing entertainment.

Pretty square

Jun 2019 • Couples

Pretty square that is dominated by the Palazzo Ducale. There are a few cafes offering food and refreshments - a great place to sit and enjoy the view. At the time of our visit there were a number of super cars on display in the square - the display of cars was enhanced by the spectacular backdrop of the Palazzo Ducale.

Picturesque and colourful

May 2019 • Couples

Such a stunning place to visit, especially before it gets crowded in the summertime. So much history to absorb and beauty to appreciate. Spend some time here, it's worth every minute.

This is a large Piazza surrounded by restaurants, cafes, and shops on two sides, and dominated on another by the imposing Palazzo Ducale.

Enjoy this great square of Modena

Dec 2022

When one comes from the train station to the center of Rome, the first great spectacular square that is found is this
It is very wide and surrounded by spectacular monuments such as the military academy and the ducal palace, we did not visit them because we were only there for one day, but I think they can be visited by appointment
It is worth taking a leisurely walk admiring this square and all the details and sculptures around it.
Special attention to the statue of Ciro Meroni, martyr of the Italian nation, and one of the revolutionaries of Modena
