    If its official name is the metropolitan cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta in Cielo and San Geminiano, the cathedral of Modena is known by this name among those who live in the city, of which this is the main place of worship. Consecrated in 1184, it has a Romanesque architectural style and in 1934 Pope Pius XI elevated it to the dignity of a minor basilica. Of particular value are the bas-reliefs on Genesis sculpted by Wiligelmo.

    The cathedral is named after Saint Geminianus (349), the patron saint of Modena, who was also the city's bishop. In 1106, his remains were solemnly transferred to the crypt of the new cathedral in the presence of Pope Paschal II and Countess Matilda of Tuscany.

    Dwarf galleries and blind arcades characterize the appearance of the original Romanesque cathedral (foundation stone laid in 1099).

    Modena Cathedral has a freestanding, five-story bell tower called the Torre Ghirlandina. This structure, approximately 86 meters tall, is the symbol of Modena.
