Piazza Santo Stefano

Start your itinerary in the historic heart of Bologna with Piazza Santo Stefano, one of the most fascinating and unique squares in Italy. Here stands the imposing complex of Santo Stefano, also known as the "Seven Churches" or the "Bolognese Jerusalem". Once you walk through the entrance, you will be thrown into a timeless atmosphere. Admire the striking Romanesque columns that characterize the ancient courtyards, immerse yourself in history by touching the Pilate's Basin, an ancient stone basin linked to legends and rites. Do not miss the opportunity to see the unique Gaul of St. Peter and contemplate the touching fresco of the pregnant Madonna, testimonies of faith and art that enrich this sacred place. An unmissable experience that will make you discover the deepest soul of Bologna. On Mondays this stage is replaced by another, as the basilica is closed.

Piazza Maggiore

Your tour takes you from the bustling Quadrilatero directly to the grandiose Piazza Maggiore, the hub of Bolognese life. This immense square is an open-air stage that encompasses centuries of history and power. Admire the Palazzo Comunale (also known as Palazzo d'Accursio), which for centuries was the seat of city government and now houses part of the Municipality. Cross the picturesque Voltone del Podestà, a historic passage that takes you to the majestic Fountain of Neptune, symbol of Bologna with its imposing bronze statue. Opposite, you will notice the Sala Borsa building, once a trading centre and today a modern library with fascinating underground archaeological remains visible. Turning around, you can admire the Palazzo Re Enzo, the second town hall, linked to stories of imprisonment and legends.

The Basilica of San Petronio dominates Piazza Maggiore, an undisputed symbol of Bologna. Externally, its façade, although unfinished, reveals the ambitious Gothic project, with Renaissance sculptural details such as the main portal by Jacopo della Quercia.

The side chapels house works of art and frescoes that tell centuries of history and faith. A visit to San Petronio is an experience that combines art, science and spirituality in the beating heart of Bologna.
