Castles, palaces and mansions

Castello Montecucolo

Historical news of the Castle of Montecuccolo dates back to 1027 when it was occupied by a family of German feudal lords. History has it that the famous general Raimondo Montecuccoli was born here, from which the fortress also takes its name. The fortress stands on a rocky relief not far from Pavullo, in Frignano. Its peculiarity lies in the position of the tower, erected slightly away from the buildings where the owners and guests resided. There is also the guard body located inside the third belt.

Monumental Trees

Cedro nel Parco Ducale

The Cedar of Parco Ducale is known as the Cedar of Lebanon or 'Pinone' said by the Pavullesi. It was planted by Carlo Huller who built the park for Francesco IV, Duke of Modena. The species is native to the Middle East and like many other trees it was introduced in Europe in 1683. The cedar has a powerful trunk and is a strong and durable wood. It is said that the Egyptians distilled oil from the cedar wood for embalming the dead. In the bible, on the other hand, it is told that it was used for the construction of temples and palaces.
