The Basilica of San Domenico in Bologna this is not too known to tourists, yet it’s one of the richest churches in Bologna in art history. It was erected by the Dominican Friars as a place to store the remains of San Domenico di Guzman, founder of the order and who arrived in Bologna around 1200. Inside there are priceless works of art by authors such as Guercino, Filippino Lippi and Ludovico Carracci. In the Chapel of San Domenico stands the ark embellished with sculptures by Michelangelo, Nicola Pisano, Alfonso Lombardi and surmounted by a marble cornice modelled in 1469-73 by Niccolò da Puglia called “dell’Arca”, also author of the Lamentation over the Dead Christ (Compianto sul Cristo Morto) preserved in the church of Santa Maria della Vita. The masterpiece of Renaissance inlay is the wooden choir of Fra’ Damiano da Bergamo, defined by contemporaries as the eighth wonder of the worldand also admired by emperor Carlo V. The church also has a bell tower, erected in 1313 in Gothic style and 51 metres high. While the Convent of San Domenico houses a private theological university and the Library with a heritage of 90.000 volumes that span from Dominican philosophy, to Dominican theology, history and spirituality. #awesomepic#unforgettableexperiences#museumquest#newphotographer#historicculture#urbanexplorer

Walking around Giardini Margherita is one of the most relaxing things you can do in Bologna, especially during the sunset. The park is nice and there’s a chalet on the pond where you can have a coffee and relax. The pond is filled with fish, turtles, ducks and swans. If you can, bring something to feed them (although they never go hungry). On the hillside of the park, there are a basketball and a volleyball fields, and during spring/summer trampolines and cotton candy! #beautifulsunsets #travelinspiration #unforgettableexperiences #awesomepic #urbanexplorer #naturalwonders
