10 Monuments & Statues in Bologna That You Shouldn't Miss
While crowds of tourists fill Venice, Florence and Rome, Bologna remains relatively quiet in comparison. This medieval university town is charming, historic and fun to explore… and you'll find Bologna's local cuisine is light-years away from the American deli meat bearing the city's name.

The SS Naborre and Felice Abbey (where S. Zama’s Crypt is kept) has also been the site of Bologna’s Military Hospital. During the 3rd century, in this site, already existed the first and most important Christian diffusion center. It is said that the first archibishop in Bologna, around the year 270, had improved the preexisting church, dedicating it to St. Peter The Crypt is stylistically referable around the 11th century: it is subdivided in three naves, with three apses and with two rows of columns in the middle nave. The four columns before the altar are in Corinthian style, most likely deriving from elder constructions and reused here.

Reviewed By TheAngeloS - Hilliard, United States
Very close to the train station - if you are working your may into the middle fo town you will most certainly encounter this gate. Not perfectly preserved, but well cared for, this gate offers a view of what the medieval traveler would have encountered when visiting Bologna. There is a view of some of the old canals, and the doors are massive. There is enough space to walk around and the guides inside of the structure are very capable of answering questions.
9. Monumento a Luigi Galvani
10. Colonna della Beata Vergine del Carmine
