Porta Saragozza
This old city gate marks the outward route toward the Sanctuary of San Luca. Stop for its castle-like towers, or use it to orient a longer walk under the portico.
Porta Saragozza links two layers of Bologna's history: a gate in the medieval walls and the later pilgrimage route to San Luca. Its cylindrical towers and central keep give a clear landmark before the portico continues away from the centre. It works especially well as the start of that walk.
What to look for
Cylindrical towers flank the gate's central keep.
The portico route toward the Sanctuary of San Luca begins here.
Useful to know
View the gate from the public street before setting out along the San Luca portico.
Treat a visit to the museum inside the gate as a separate plan with its own timetable.
