Historical rooms of the Town Hall in Modena
The Town Hall occupies two sides of Piazza Grande and is the result of a standardization and regularization project of the various buildings constructed in different periods beginning in the 17th century with building of porticos along the Palazzo della Ragione continuing up to the Clock Tower, and in the 19th century up to Castellaro.
The staterooms in the town hall can be visited.
