Mirandola, Historic commune in Province of Modena, Italy
Mirandola is a commune in the Province of Modena located in the Po Valley of northern Italy. The town features medieval and Renaissance buildings, including the Pico Castle and several churches that shape its appearance.
The town developed into a Renaissance fortress under Pico family rule from the 13th to 17th century. After their power declined, the Duchy of Modena took control in 1710.
The name originates from the Pico family who shaped the city for centuries, and their intellectual legacy remains visible in the local architecture and public spaces. Walking through the streets, you can see how the Renaissance left its mark on the town's character.
A network of bicycle paths connects different parts of the town, making it easy to explore the main sights on two wheels. Spring and autumn offer the most pleasant conditions for getting around and discovering the local sites.
A major earthquake in 2012 destroyed many historic buildings and significantly changed the town's landscape. The ongoing reconstruction efforts demonstrate how the community has worked to restore its architectural heritage.
