10 Points of Interest & Landmarks in Porto That You Shouldn't Miss

August 3, 2021 Velvet Champine

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.

Raccolta Lercaro

Established in 1971, the Lercaro's Collection owes its existence to a group of artworks donated to Cardinal Lercaro (1891-1976) on his eightieth birthday by some artists in recognition of his promotion of the arts. This first donation was soon followed by many others by various different artists who wished to show their respect to the Cardinal. The collection has never been confined to sacred art. It includes masterpieces by Giacomo Manzu, Arturo Martini and other sculptures by Adolfo Wildt, Francesco Messina, Eugenio Pellini and Vittorio Tavernari. Finally, an extensive selection of paintings and graphic arts, including works by Giacomo Balla, Giorgio Morandi, Filippo de Pisis, Renato Guttuso, Emilio Ambron and many others, are also on view.

Palazzo Fava

Reviewed By ZappaMuffin - Glasgow, United Kingdom

We visited the Astrid Kirchherr with The Beatles exhibition on Saturday. The exhibition was wonderful with lots of great stories on the handheld set, which is included in the ticket price. The space is great. The staff were very friendly and informative. I will definitely be visiting future exhibitions here. Highly recommend a visit to the Astrid Kirchherr exhibition is you are in Bologna!

Porta Galliera

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.
