Bologna, an inland city in Northern Italy, is one of Italy’s most beautiful towns. The city is often considered a lively Arts and Cultural centre brimming with students. It also houses one of the oldest universities in the world, the Bologna University – an important historical site.

The central streets of the walled city are largely pedestrianized and lined with colonnades following the grid pattern of the Roman settlement. These colonnades – along with the famous towers, porticoes and churches around the city – characterize Bologna architecture. The economy is flourishing and buoyant. Despite having suffered considerable bombing damage in 1944, Bologna’s 350 acres historic centre houses a variety of important medieval, renaissance, and baroque buildings, to date preserved and celebrated by the architects in Bologna.
