La Piazza Maggiore (en español, Plaza Mayor) es la plaza principal de Bolonia, Italia. Tiene 115 metros de longitud y 60 metros de anchura, y está rodeada por los edificios más importantes de la ciudad medieval. El más antiguo es el Palazzo del Podestà, que cierra la plaza por el norte; data del 1200 y está coronado por la Torre dell'Arengo, que haciendo sonar su campana llamaba a reunión al pueblo. A este se le añadió en poco tiempo el Palazzo Re Enzo, sobre el cual se abre la bóveda de una travesía peatonal.
Al oeste de la plaza está el Palazzo Comunale (o d'Accursio), un complejo arquitectónico monumental que tiene su origen en el siglo XIV. Actualmente es la sede de la Comuna de Bolonia, las Collezioni Comunali d'Arte y el Museo Morandi, que también rodea la adyacente Piazza del Nettuno, en el centro de la cual está la fuente homónima (también llamada del Gigante), realizada en el 1565 por Giambologna.

It is the main place of the city. It is the city centre for citizens and tourists. Here you can find the main Church with nice paintings (also a famous one about Mahomet), the city hall and many bar and restaurants where you can eat and drink and have nice time. From here the tourists bus leaves for its tour through the most interesting places in the city. There is also a train for kids. Near here there are the two towers of Bologna (Asinelli and Garisenda)... but this is another story.

We stayed for an ice cream on the stairs and enjoyed the view. Unique architecture and colors.

Beautiful piazza in the center of Bologna. Limited food options but lots of coffee and wine. Lots of shopping too, so long as you remember the scale of bologna. Very scenic. Nice church. Great place to walk or meet people.

The main Square in Bologna! Very central, vast and aesthetically appealing with the Dome on one side and other important buildings from the city's past! Adjecent to the square is a statue of Neptune! A very pleasant place both for a walk during day time and during night time! I had the opportunity to see it even under the snow and that made the square even more charming!

Really chilled place with some lovely authentic charcuteries and market stalls just off the main piazza. Much less touristy than other piazzas in Italy that I’ve seen so far. And the statue of Neptune is pretty impressive!

Historical and still active center of Bologna. Everything radiates exponentially from there. Great restaurants and cafes all over. Make time and tummy space for dried & cured meats, sausages & salami. Some of the best in all of Italy is in Bologna.

Beautiful architecture! This piazza is beautiful at night. Great place to sit and people watch.

You can't be in Bologna without crossing by this Piazza. There are a lot to do around here. It is the route to the small delis, cathedrals and artistic stuff in the area. Would recommend to stop by there obviously (beautiful) but there isn't much to do.

Piazza Maggiore is a beautiful and famous square in the centre of the city. It is surrounded by historical and lovely monuments and buildings. A must see if you're visiting the town.

The square's really nice and St Petronius Church is majestic. At the moment they're setting up an open-air cinema with a huge screen in the square though, which is a great idea but takes off a bit of the square's prettiness.

Some great big stage was sat plum on one end of the piazza when I was there. Also, vans come and go and park right next to the piazza, obscuring the view. Not to mention building renovations. It's still an interesting place, but very far removed from a Romantic Italian piazza.

I was born and I grew up in Bologna so this Piazza is a special place to me. When I was a kid I was sitting on the stairs of the Cathedral,people watching with my friends,joking and perhaps having our first smoke! Glad now Bologna has become such a tourist spot and her beauty is appreciated by so many. During the summer the Council pays to show movies in the square and there's a magical athmosphere with hundreds of Italians sitting in silence watching old movies Can't wait to move back to Italy and be one of them!

The Piazza itself is not very crowded yet still full of life. It is really worth visiting especially if you are interested in old architecture. Do not forget to look closely at the Neptune fountain and try to position yourself correctly to unveil the prank pulled of by the sculptor.

Great energy ... This place is surrounded by many shops and restaurants offering modern as well as authentic merchandise and food. As it is near the Bologna University, there is always crowd of young people, artists and performers. One can simply come here on weekends and enjoy the day.
Ron Hascall | jul. 11, 2018
Right in the center of town. Quite a few churches to visit shops to visit. The hop-on hop-off buses meet there. There's chairs and tables, but they're reserved for the patrons of the restaurants, so pick one, order a glass of wine and and enjoy the view.

It consider as the center of town ,every summer they arrange the big screen (multimedia projector ) to let the people gather together and enjoy movie . Such a nice place . One can easily find good restaurants and bar which is located very close to the Piazza and it gives u all elements to spend quality time with the unique beauty of Bologna .
