Sanctuary of San Luca
The sanctuary on the hill, at the top of the longest portico in the world.
The sanctuary stands on the Colle della Guardia, south-west of the centre of Bologna. You climb up on foot under a portico of 666 arches almost four kilometres long, starting from Porta Saragozza.
The porticoes of Bologna have been a UNESCO site since 2021 and this is the most spectacular stretch. If you would rather not walk, the tourist train from Piazza Maggiore takes you up.
Opening days, times and tickets change through the year: always check the official site before you set off.
