Temporarily Closed1. Two Towers
5.865 Reviews
based on 9.0k reviews
salvalasilvia The Two Towers, "Le due torri", both of them leaning, are the symbol of Bologna, and probably the most prominent one. Until 1919, there were actually 5 towers in this square. Bologna was always known as the city of towers, “La Turrita”, as over the centuries, particularly between the 12th and the 13th century, the city had possibly over 200 towers.Almost all them were tall (the highest being 97 m), defensive stone towers. There are now 25 towers left without counting the hundreds of bell towers in the city.The taller one of the pair is called the Asinelli while the smaller but more leaning tower is called the Garisenda. Their names derive from the families which are traditionally credited with constructing them between 1109 and 1119.The Asinelli Tower was used by the scientists Giovanni Battista Riccioli (in 1640) and Giovanni BattistaGuglielmini (in the following century) for experiments to study the motion of heavy bodies and the earth rotation. Bologna’s towers were cited several times by Dante in the Divine Comedy and The Rhymes (a confirmation of his stay in Bologna), and by Goethe in his Italian Journey. The Two Towers have also been the subject of an eponymous poem by Giosuè Carducci as part of the Barbarian Odes. Charles Dickens wrote about the towers in his Pictures from Italy.In World War II, between 1943 and 1945, it was used as a sight post: during bombing attacks, four volunteers took post at the top to direct rescue operations to places hit by Allied bombs.Later, a RAI television relay was installed on top.Architect Minor Yamasaki is thought to have been inspired by the Towers when designing the World Trade Center during the 1960s.Bologna1.8km from San Donato

3. Palazzo del Podesta
4.628 Reviewsbased on 248 reviewssalvalasilvia The Palazzo del Podestà, in Piazza Maggiore, was the first site of the city government exercised by the mayor, his judges and officials. The Torre dell’Arengo was immediately erected alongside, a bell tower used to muster the citizens in the case of extraordinary events.Of great interest is the Voltone del Podestà with its unique acoustic effect that permits visitors to speak to each other from the opposite corners of the archway.The facade was added by Giovanni II Bentivoglio and Ginevra Sforza during their “reign” of the city. On the arches you can spot the symbols of all the noble families (and the guilds) that participated and paid, some no longer exist.Bologna2km from San Donato
4. St. Peter's Basilica Church

小小呆60A large cathedral is the main building in the main square. It is really luxurious, especially the magnificent interior of the church. The statue of Jesus' death is worth seeing. It is not bad.Bologna1.9km from San Donato
5. Piazza Maggiore

轻轻的一个蚊The square of Machollère is located in the center of Bologna, built in 1200, to the north is two medieval palaces built in the early 13th century, and to the south is the cathedral of St. Peterronio, which was built in 1390 AD and has not yet been completed. In the middle of the square is an open-air cinema with movies (and advertisements) every night. Bologna is my favorite Italian city, with simple and elegant architecture, clean and tidy. There is the first university in Europe, the University of Bologna. Bologna is a wealthy city, Ferrari, Maserati and other famous car brands were born here.Bologna2km from San DonatoFree

_We***95Legend has it that half of the halls that are not built will be built. It feels good if they are built. It feels that the front shape is rough, like a large factory, the murals here are quite exquisite, and the style of the building is very good.Bologna2.1km from San DonatoFree
9. Fountain of Neptune
3.724 Reviewsbased on 2.7k reviewssalvalasilvia The Fountain of Neptune or just “Il Nettuno” as locals call it, it’s also known as "al Zigânt" (the Giant) in Bolognese dialect because of the size of the statue of Neptune. At the time of its construction it was a symbol of the power of the Pope, who ruled the world like Neptune ruled the seas. At the feet of the statue, in fact, lie four little angels, representing Gange, the Nile, the Amazon and Danube, the rivers of the continents known at the time.The trident of the statue inspired and it was used by Maserati brothers as emblem for their first car, the Maserati Tipo 26. This is still today the logo of the Maserati car company. The fountain and its sculpture are one of the most iconic symbols of the city and references to them can be found in many symbols, commercials and logos. The historical students' fraternity (Goliardia) "Excelsa Neptuni Balla", has two tridents on its emblem. The Bolognese anecdote also tells of a particular expedient implemented by Giambologna, who intended to find a way to make Neptune with realistic genitals, without being discovered and admonished by the Church. The sculptor designed the statue in such a way that from a particular angle the thumb of Neptune's outstretched hand seems to emerge directly from the lower abdomen, making him suggest the (erect) genital; as proof of the same, in the pavement of the square there is a black stone, also called "of shame" placed in a very specific point in piazza del Nettuno (to be precise at the foot of the entrance stairway to the Salaborsa library) which facilitates its vision.Bologna2km from San DonatoFree
