The tour then continues along Via Emilia, the oldest street in Modena, built by the Romans in 187 B.C., to the former Jewish Ghetto via Blasia. Here, you can explore the city's historical transformations through the remaining traces of its past. The next stop is the magnificent Piazza Roma, home to the Ducal Palace, which was chosen as the residence of the prestigious Este family.
