Standing in Piazza Maggiore, the Torre dell’Orologio forms part of the imposing Palazzo d’Accursio, the historic seat of Bologna’s government. With origins in the 13th century, it blends medieval architecture with Renaissance additions, bearing witness to centuries of civic life. Its clock’s centuries-old mechanism, occasionally visible during special exhibitions, is a marvel of engineering from a bygone era. Climb the tower to enjoy sweeping views of the city’s iconic red rooftops and the spirited activities of the square below. Surrounding attractions include the grand Basilica di San Petronio, Neptune’s Fountain, and a maze of portico-lined streets packed with cafes and boutiques.
