Ducal Palace
Started in 1634 for the Este family, this heavy Baroque edifice is now Modena's military academy. Its scrubbed, fresh-faced, heel-clicking cadets in their trim hats and multicoloured uniforms look as if they've marched right off a chocolate box. Fancy-dress apart, they're considered Italy's best soldiers. Admire from the outside - not open to the public.
