View of the Sanctuary of San Luca

Highlight • Viewpoint

Once you reach the sanctuary of San Luca from the classic and more difficult side, the one with the famous Curva delle Orfanelle that begins under the Arco del Meloncello, after a few hundred meters a wonderful glimpse opens up towards the sanctuary. It is a fascinating panoramic point, but pay attention to the narrow road.

Meloncello Arch

Highlight • Monument

The Arco del Meloncello (pordgh dèl Mlunzèl in Bologna) is an 18th century Rococo structure in Bologna, which forms a pedestrian portico on the street (hence an arch). It is part of the Portico di San Luca, a long portico that shelters the walk from the Arco Bonaccorsi (near Porta Saragozza) to the Sanctuary of the Madonna di San Luca. It is located on the first eastern outskirts of the city, outside the last city wall.
