Bologna's Secret Towers & Gems

Beyond the main squares, Bologna preserves a dense network of medieval skyscrapers and secluded Gothic architecture. This selection features the 60-meter Azzoguidi Tower and the Prendiparte Tower, alongside the 14th-century Palace of Commerce. It highlights the city's hidden waterways through the 'Little Venice' window and commemorates history at the bronze 'il Popolano' statue and the contemporary Shoah Memorial. The list also includes the hilltop San Luca basilica, connected to the center by the world's longest portico.
