Torre dell'Orologio

The Torre dell'Orologio (Clock Tower) is located in the northern part of Bologna's historic city center, in Piazza Maggiore. Built in the 13th century, the tower stands at 32m tall, and is the fifth-tallest civic tower in Bologna. It became a landmark feature in the city over time, while its clock displays the traditional ‘Bolognese-style’ minutes and hours. You can admire the Clock Tower at close range during an ancient evening stroll, or in the daylight while wondering around Piazza Maggiore. From here, you can explore the nearby palazzi, churches, and fountains, while savoring the hassle-free atmosphere that surround the area.
