Discover Modolo: Festivals, Museums and Beaches

Modolo offers you a holiday destination with a rural character and several cultural points of interest. Landscapes, celebrations, cultural attractions, beaches and regional food provide various opportunities for you to choose the personal focus of your stay.

Among Cherry Trees, Olive Groves and Vineyards

Modolo is located in a fertile, lushly vegetated valley with cherry trees, olive groves and vineyards. This setting visibly shapes the town and makes it interesting for you if the landscape is to be more than just a backdrop during your holiday. If you choose a holiday apartment in Modolo, this can be combined with a distinctly rural character.

Festivals with Their Own Traditions

The celebration of Sant’Andrea, the patron saint of Modolo, includes a procession through the streets of Modolo. A marching band accompanies the procession, and groups in traditional clothing also take part. The Madonna del Grappolo celebration includes a solemn mass with the distribution of bread and grapes. This gives you two different ways to experience the town’s festival traditions.

Church and Domus de Janas

The Church of Santa Croce in Modolo dates from the 17th century. There are Domus de Janas in the village of Silatari. This gives you two different themes to choose from for a cultural focus: the church in Modolo or Silatari with its Domus de Janas.

Castle and Museums in the Surrounding Area

The nearby area of Modolo is home to Il Castello Malaspina castle and three museums: the Pinacoteca e Museo Casa Deriu, the Museo Delle Concie and the Museo Civico Casa Deriu. The range of cultural attractions therefore extends from a castle to several museums. When planning your holiday days, you can weigh up different cultural destinations.

Beaches and a Zoo as Additional Destinations

Several beaches are also located near Modolo: Spiaggia di Turas, Spiaggia di Bosa Marina and Spiaggia di Noesala. The Il Parco degli Uccelli di Mura Simonetta zoo is located in the Modolo area. This gives you a clear change between beach destinations and a visit to the zoo if you would like to plan a varied range of excursions.

Cheese Production and Choosing Your Holiday Focus

Cheese is produced in Modolo, in a landscape shaped by vineyards and olive groves. This culinary connection adds a specific regional product to the picture of the valley. If you are considering a holiday apartment in Modolo as your base, you can weigh up your personal focus between festivals, cultural attractions, beaches, the zoo, the landscape and cheese production. This appeals to travellers who want to combine different interests during their holiday without committing themselves to a single theme.
