PALAZZO DUCALE
Former royal palace of the Este offering guided tours in Modena
The ancient Este Royal Palace was built from 1634 by the Roman architect Bartolomeo Avanzini and since the end of the Second World War it has been the seat of the Military Academy, the only and most prestigious institution in Italy dedicated to the training of officers. Today, the third Saturday in May, the debutante ball for the cadets of the Military Academy is still held there. Guided tours reveal the sumptuous apartments of the Este courtyard, decorated with frescoes and arranged around the central Courtyard of Honour.
