It is very nice white tower at Piazza Grande. It is one of trade marks of Modena. There is very comfortable cafe with view to Ghirlandina tower.
Magnificent Tower in Modena constructed from white stone on Piazza Grande. It is certainly one of the trade marks of Modena. It is currently under reconstruction but its beauty is still there.
Well if your a fan of F1 or ferrari do the combo trip and get your camera at the ready, simply amazing experience. If you do the combo be warned there is a transfer fee not included if you use the third party mini bus. We personally drove as you can park for free at the Maranello museum anyway.
There's something of Modena that all the tourists must learn.It's a word, it isn't difficult, and it's one of the most peculiar word in Modena.In Spain you learn Paella, In Germany October Fest, in France you learn Pan au Chocolat, in Modena, before tortellini and Ferrari, you have to learn Ghirlandeina, in the while also Pavarotti.Why Ghirlandeina? Because is one of the symbol of Modena.Do you want an example?Ok, try to stop someone, man or woman doesn't make differences, and ask him/her"Sorry Sir/Mam, where's the Ghirlandina?"Of course you'll receive your answer but the first things you'll hear will be"The Ghirlandeina is...." Jokes a part, this tower is something of really important for the Modenesi.Go for it and admire it, drinking an espresso maybe!
We have decided that this is "our" tower and we are so proud to be part of the community it's in. It's a lovely design, and fun to climb and see the surrounding area. It's definitely not the tallest tower you'll find in Italy, but it's an important part of Modena's personality.
This is a leaning tower. Worth a visit if in Modena. We had good views of old town from the top. Would recommend .
This tower and history. When the Jewish had to leave Spain due to the very catholic king, the pope in Italy accepted them in Italy. The Jewish were brining knowledge of the medicine and other important information. This white tour remembers the tower in Sevilla but since it is smaller the name has been adapted to Ghirlandina.Great monument.
We climbed this tower when we went to Modena partly for some exercise, but mainly to see the view from above. The stairs were sturdy and easy to climb, with handrails all the way from top to bottom, so even people who aren't massively steady on their feet shouldn't struggle too much (although obviously the ascent can be tiring). The views were lovely and well worth the two or three euros we paid to climb it.
In the heart of the town, visible from all the surroundings, this beautiful tower stands besides the Duomo
Unfortunately it is not always possible to climb up to the top.If it is opened it is worth to go and have a look at the city from the top.
