 Palazzo dei Banchi sul Piazza
Maggiore by croisbeauty, 1 more photos
The construction of the building first started in 1412, but finished only in 1568 by architect Jacopo Barozzi. Barozzi, called Il Vignola, built the facade of the palace and the portico which is part of so-called "Portico del Pavaglione". Leave a Comment Address: Piazza Maggiore

 Palazzo del Podestà by GillianinaLeave a Comment

According to local lore, those who climb Torre degli Asinelli will not make it through college - but ignore this superstitious warning since this only refers to Bolognese students. If you're a tourist, the exhausting climb over the tower's 498 steps (no lifts here, unlike in Venice's Campanile) is well worth it. Waiting for you are grand views of the city - a treat for the shutter-happy tourist.
Torre degli Asinelli, built between 1109-1119 by the Asinelli family - is the taller of the two towers that are unmistakably Bologna's main landmarks. The towers are said to be the remaining survivors of some 12 towers that used to dot the city. The shorter tower, Torre Garisenda, is closed to the public as it leans precariously on a 3.2-meter tilt.

The Anatomy Theatre is absolutely amazing. Built in 1637 by Antonio Levante on the upper floor of the palace, the theatre is built entirely out of wood. This is where anatomy lessons were held, analysing and dissecting a body on the marble table in the middle of the room. The room features the famous statues of the Spellati - Skinless - by Ercole Lelli.
Open: Mon. to Sat. 9.00 a.m. - 1.00 p.m. (Mon. to Fri. afternoon opening from 1.00 p.m. to 6.30 p.m. not always guaranteed)

 A story of life. by iandsmith
Someone walked over, apparently deliberately searching for someone's face. I hoped it brought them some comfort.
Sala Borsa, I won't forget it in a hurry. Leave a Comment Address: Piazza Neptuno

The construction of this impressive building was carried out over many years by joining together many different buildings into one larger one. The largest part of the Palazzo Comunale is the Palazzo d'Accursio, topped with a clock tower.
Three important works of art are on the façade of the palace: the Madonna di Piazza by Nicolò dell'Arca, the statue of Pope Gregory XIII and an eagle attributed to Michelagelo.
The second floor of the Palazzo d'Accursio contains both the Collezione Comunale d'Arte and the Museo Morandi, which hold pieces of art and furniture from the 1400s to the 1800s
The palace is open to the public where visitors can see the council chamber, halls and an art collection Address: Piazza Maggiore

One of my favorite places is the old stock exchange, or Sala Borsa (in which "old" means originally established in the 14th century). It sat empty and unused for decades, but then a few years ago it was turned into a library.
The main hall. Can you see the plexiglas tiles in the floor? We tried to take pictures, but it was impossible. Anyway, underneath this structure is an archeological dig that has unearthed pieces of the original Roman road, a few dwellings, etc., and the floor is transparent so you can see it all.
The library has several cafe?s inside. A beautyful light inside, and residues of old walls. Leave a Comment Address: Next to Piazza Maggiore

The famous wood and brick portico of Isolani Palace in Via Maggiore, claimed to be one of the first ever built in town. This splendid and suggestive house, one of few of a kind left in Bologna, was built in 1250. There is long covered portico inside the building with number of interesting shops. The whole building is huge and its rear part overlooking Piazza San Stefano. Leave a Comment Address: Via Maggiore
