About

The Ducal Palace of Rivalta (Italian: Palazzo Ducale di Rivalta or Reggia di Rivalta or Villa Estense) was a baroque palace in Rivalta, just south of Reggio Emilia, Italy. The palace and its park were inspired by the Palace of Versailles. Until 1796, it served as a residence of the dukes of Modena from the House of Este, after which it fell in disrepair. Today, only the southern wing remains.
