Why go
Walk into the square from Via Santo Stefano and watch its long sides draw your eye toward the church front. The palace façades reward a slower look: Palazzo Bolognini Amorini Salina carries rows of terracotta heads, while the porticoes give the space its distinct Bologna setting.
What to look for
- The triangular square narrows toward the Santo Stefano complex.
- Porticoes run along both long sides of the piazza.
- Terracotta heads animate the façade of Palazzo Bolognini Amorini Salina.
Useful to know
- Stand near the open end of the square to take in the church and both palace fronts together.
- Allow extra time if you plan to enter the Santo Stefano complex; the square and churches are distinct visits.
