Valli mirandolesi, Protected wetland near Mirandola, Italy.

The area spans 2,727 hectares in the low plains of Modena, featuring wetlands, ponds, brushy meadows, hedgerows, and groves amid agricultural lands.

The floodplains served as fish farming and equine breeding grounds until the end of the 19th century, with initial settlements dating back to Etruscan times.

The Barchessoni military structures, built in the late 19th century, stand as architectural remnants of horse accommodation facilities that shaped the landscape.

The environmental education center at Barchessone Vecchio in San Martino Spino offers visitors information about the area's ecological characteristics.

The site supports the largest population of Black Tern in Italy and functions as a critical stopover for migratory water birds in Emilia-Romagna.
