Castelnuovo Rangone is a small town around 15 Km from Modena. The meaning of its name is very simple as Castelnuovo can be translated as Newcastle, while Rangone comes from the name of the noble family (Rangoni) whose components were the lords of the fortified city.

As showed by the maps, a great part of the interesting things to do are concentrated in the center of town as the main square with the church, some old palaces ...

... and the City Hall with ...

... the watchtower.

In a historic center of a town located on the plain, the arcades cannot be missing.

...and this is a particular view of the Bell Tower ...

... that I have not been able to photograph in full.
