Bologna arhitecture is something else 🇮🇹

#italytrip I just got back from Bologna, and its architecture blew me away! 🏛️ This city is a feast for the eyes, with its iconic medieval towers, endless porticoes, and red-bricked buildings that give Bologna its nickname, "La Rossa." One of the most striking features is the Two Towers (Le Due Torri). For just 5 euros, you can climb the Asinelli Tower, and the view from the top is worth every step—seeing the red rooftops stretch out beneath you is breathtaking! 🏙️ But it’s not just about the towers. Bologna’s porticoes, which stretch over 40 kilometers, are UNESCO-listed and provide a unique experience of the city. Walking under them feels like stepping back in time. Piazza Maggiore is another architectural gem, surrounded by the Basilica di San Petronio (free to enter), the Palazzo d'Accursio, and the stunning Fountain of Neptune. Bologna’s blend of medieval, Renaissance, and modern styles makes it a must-see for architecture lovers! #trip #bolognaarchitecture #italianheritage #leduetorri #unescoporticoes #travelitaly
