Are you ready?
Ok, please follow me... on the next pages: Shopping, Where to eat and...but before, take a look to Vignola Fortress :-)
Vignola Fortress (Modena, Italy)
 |
| This is me at Vignola Fortress: Welcome! |
You can see, right in the center of the city, the Fortress (Vignola Fortress), whose construction began even before the year AD one thousand, and that was the site of their own on a spur of rock.
Around the fourteenth century the castle was burned down, then became a very important property of the D'Este italian family.
Towards the end of the eighteenth century, the fortress became the property of the French, who had invaded the territory.
Be part owned by the city of Modena after several years, and in recent sixties a careful and expensive restoration work has begun.
When you reach the top, you can walk the round walkaways: they made possible the surveillance along the Fortress perimeter.

From the top of the main tower you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the hills and the River Panaro, including the town of Vignola: really great!

I think you'll be pleased to know that the entrance to the Fortress is free: one more reason not to miss the must-see!
