You should complete your route with a trip to the Forum Boarium (Foro Boario) that is located near a perfect place for walks, Parco Archeologico Novi Ark. It is named after the Serbian city Novi Sad, a sister city of Modena. At the top of the construction, there is a clock. On the sides, you can see monuments representing weapons and art. From the side of the park, the Forum is decorated with bulls’ heads. At one time, there was a market under its vault. Then, the building served as barracks. You should also visit the Manifattura dei Tabacchi. It is a contemporary art gallery.
Modena is famous for one of the oldest pharmacies. The Antica Farmacia Ospedali Riuniti (giĂ Sant Agostino) has been reconstructed with an original exterior and interior. Here, you can find interesting ancient scripts and medicine and spice descriptions. The building was built in the 18th century. Then, you should visit the Acetaia Villa San Donnino. The farm is famous even beyond the balsamic vinegar company in Modena. Here, you can learn everything about the production process and buy amazing balsamic vinegar at the exit.
