World Heritage Sites

Cathedral, Torre Civica ("Ghirlandina ') and the Piazza Grande in the city, have been declared World Heritage Sites by UNESCO, the first is a Romanesque church which was built in 11th and 12th centuries, the Civic Tower or "Ghirlandina" is the true symbol of the city, which is now covered with a tarp during restoration. Another place of great artistic interest is the Palace Museum (Palazzo dei Musei): It was built by the East in 1753. Aimed at Arsenal then became Hospicio de Pobres and from 1883 hosts major cultural institutions, including the Estense Gallery, with works by El Greco, Velazquez and many other great masters.

It also houses the Biblioteca Estense, where you can find the Bible of Borso d'Este. With countless beautiful streets, plus an impressive Ducal Palace it is a good place to see in when you go to Bologna. There are continuous trains that run between both cities.
