Stop 1: Hermitage of Ronzano

Begin your journey by heading to the Hermitage of Ronzano: this first stop will introduce you to the magical Bolognese Hills. This ancient religious complex is situated at about 300 meters altitude on the hills of Bologna and immersed in a forest of oaks and cypresses, an oasis of silence and peace with a panoramic view over the city. Inside, the small chapel features splendid decorations and works dating back to the 15th century.


Stop 2: Sanctuary of the Madonna di San Luca

You will then visit one of Bologna's most beloved and iconic symbols: the Sanctuary of San Luca. This sanctuary dominates the city from above and offers breathtaking views of the surrounding hills. Walk along the iconic portico that leads to the sanctuary and let yourself be enveloped by the spirituality of this place.


Stop 3: Palazzo de' Rossi

Get back in the saddle and reach Palazzo de' Rossi, an elegant Renaissance residence surrounded by an enchanting landscape. This historic palace preserves frescoes, decorated halls, and a charm from another era. Walking through its rooms, you'll feel as though you've stepped back in time to relive the life of the Bolognese aristocracy. This stop is unmissable for lovers of history and art.


Stop 4: San Michele in Bosco Monumental Complex

Last but not least, visit this ancient complex nestled among the hills, once home to a monastery. The evocative architecture of the San Michele in Bosco Monumental Complex will allow you to be fascinated by the history permeating these buildings: a perfect place for an immersion into the cultural heritage of the area. Enjoy the silence, the unique atmosphere, and the panorama over the city before setting off again.
