Have you ever stepped inside Palazzo d’Accursio? ‘Cause this is the view of Piazza Maggiore from its second floor and I’d say it’s pretty good.
Say hello to Bonaccorsi Arch, the first arch to be built for the monumental Portico di San Luca, whose construction began in 1674 and took 100 years to complete. I took this photo from the top of Porta Saragozza, part of Bologna’s 13th century walls, where the museum dedicated to the history of the Sanctuary of San Luca is now housed.
Tortellini cheerfulness.
Bologna, city of porticoes. Who recognizes this one in particular? 😉
Approaching the medieval village of Monteveglio, in the Valley of Samoggia near Bologna.
One of the great views you get as you walk up the Portico di San Luca. If you wish to learn about the history of this landmark monument of Bologna, click the link in my bio (where I also tell you about my guided walking tour there).
