Bologna Italy City Center Walking Tour ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น!

#summerdestinations A relatively quiet and quaint city in Northern Italy ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น . We just have 6 hours here so we spent it wandering around before we headed to Rome. We were very surprised to see so many cultural attractions and historic architectures. It is such a pretty city which makes us want to go back in the future. What to see if you have limited time here? 1. The Piazza Maggiore- it is located right in the middle of the city so you wonโ€™t really miss this place. Just follow the crowd and it will lead you here. 2. San Petronio- apparently this is the 10th largest church in the whole world. It is located in the center of Piazza Maggiore. 3. Archiginnasio- It is one of the most important buildings in Bologna where students learn anatomy. 4. La Piazzola Market- if you need anything and you donโ€™t want to spend a lot then go this market. It is massive and it has got everything you could think of. Just wander around until you bump into amazing history of Bologna. Donโ€™t forget to try their cafes. For 6 hours , we went to three .

The Basilica of San Domenico in Bologna this is not too known to tourists, yet itโ€™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 Niccolรฒ da Puglia called โ€œdellโ€™Arcaโ€, 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 Fraโ€™ 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 thereโ€™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
