Welcome to Piazza Maggiore, the heart of Bologna! This historic square has been a gathering place since the 13th century and is surrounded by stunning medieval architecture that reflects the city’s rich cultural heritage. As you stroll through this vibrant plaza, take in its lively atmosphere filled with street performers and local vendors, making it an ideal spot for people-watching.
Next, we have the Basilica di San Petronio, one of the largest churches in Italy and a true masterpiece of Gothic architecture. Construction began in 1390 but remains unfinished; however, its grand façade and intricate interior are nothing short of breathtaking. The basilica also houses remarkable artworks and historical artifacts that tell stories about Bologna's religious significance throughout centuries.
Finally, let’s explore the iconic Two Towers (Due Torri), which symbolize Bologna's medieval past. These leaning towers were built during a time when noble families competed for power and prestige—Asinelli Tower stands at an impressive height of 97 meters! Climbing to its summit rewards you with panoramic views over this enchanting cityscape—a must-do experience for any visitor seeking to capture Bolognese charm from above.
