San Felice sul Panaro

San Felice sul Panaro

A small town that retains the charm of an ancient history, including late medieval architecture, noble buildings and suburban villas from the early twentieth century. Perfectly halfway between Modena and Ferrara, and for this reason the scene of ancient disputes between the two cities. Rich in public parks and private gardens, it is entirely surrounded by greenery. Former fief of the Grand Countess Matilde di Canossa, the small town is known for its characteristic quadrangular Rocca Estense Castle.
