The Cathedral of Modena is one of the most important Romanesque sites in Europe and is part of the UNESCO World Heritage. Work on the cathedral began in 1099, under the direction of the architect Lanfranco, on the site of the tomb of San Geminiano, the patron saint of Modena. Previously, from the 5th century onwards, two churches had been built on the same site, but both had been destroyed. The remains of the saint are still on display in the crypt of the cathedral. The façade presents different styles. The majestic rose windows were added by Anselm in the 13th century, while the two lions supporting the columns of the entrance belong to the period of ancient Rome and were probably discovered during the excavations for the foundations. The construction of the bell tower was completed in 1319.
