Review & FAQ:
When heading to Bologna, one of the must-see destinations is Piazza Maggiore. Piazza Maggiore is at the very center of the city of Bologna. It was once used as the leading center for all activities in Bologna – celebrations, festivals, trade, commerce, public punishments. As building built up around the grassy area that once housed the square, the plaza once known as Curia Communis transitioned into Piazza Maggiore (16th century). Today, guests can stroll through the center, marveling at the unique and old architecture. Events are still held in the center, celebrating the culture and holidays of Bologna.
