Architettura, arte e storia: i tour alla scoperta del capoluogo emiliano
A 360° experience…
Relais Bellaria Hotel & Congressi is pleased to offer you a full experience thanks to precious tours in Bologna. This is why we have a successful partnership with Bologna Welcome, the association that takes care of welcoming tourists and accompanying them on cultural tours, through the beauties of Bologna.
For each guest, ten itineraries have been conceived, focusing on the “Bologna to be unveiled” in the company with the best available tour guides.
The ancient charm of Bologna is breathed by visiting the major historical buildings. The center has been recognized by UNESCO as one of the largest and best preserved artistic heritage ranging from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance and Baroque periods. The Garisenda and Asinelli towers (with the less known Azzoguidi and Prendiparte) stand out against the sky, profiling the city skyline and making it recognizable from any panoramic perspective.
Another Bolognese emblem is the Basilica of San Petronio located in Piazza Maggiore. The monumental church left unfinished dates back to 1390 and houses on the floor of the left aisle the largest sundial in the world designed by the mathematician Giovanni Domenica Cassini. Many are the spiritual places of Bologna as the magnificent complex of Santo Stefano called “the seven churches” because of the succession of chapels all connected by courtyards and cloisters or the sanctuary of San Luca on the Colle della Guardia, reachable through a suggestive porticoed climb.
Worthy of note is also the Palazzo dell’Archiginnasio, the seat of the Biblioteca Comunale and erected in the middle of the sixteenth century. Inside there is the anatomic theater, a room dedicated to the study of anatomy built according to the model of a Roman amphitheater. A spectacular environment that has marked the history of the renowned medical faculty of the Bolognese University.
A thousand are the spaces of Bologna to live and discover, let yourself be surprised: Relais Bellaria Hotel & Congressi is happy to host you during this journey.
