| Bologna is the town with the highest number of arcades in the world; they are 35 km long and offer an unmatched architectonic view. The longest known arcade is the one linking the town to the St. Luke Sanctuary on the Della Guardia hill. From the 180-200 towers in the 12th and 13th century, only forty towers remains today: as the Asinelli (98m), the Garisenda (48m), the Incoronata (59m) and the Altabella (60m). |
