The Parking SABA S. Orsola is located in the heart of Bologna, a few steps from the historic centre. The SABA S. Orsola car park is right next to the S. Orsola - Malpighi Hospital, an ancient clinic whose history dates back to 1592. It is the seat of the Faculty of Medicine and Surgery of the University of Bologna and extends for about 1800 metres. Up to 20,000 people enter and leave this hospital every day. What's more, every year international events are organised at Sant'Orsola, mainly specialised in training courses: a good solution to get to the event in time is to book a place for your car in the SABA S. Orsola car park!
A 10-minute walk from SABA S. Orsola parking you can visit Palazzo Hercolani, which now houses the offices of the Faculty of Political Science of the University of Bologna. Built in 1785 by Angelo Venturoli for Filippo Hercolani, the palace has a neoclassical facade, while inside there is a large staircase full of decorations in baroque and rococo style. The palace, close to the SABA S. Orsola car park, also has two rooms on the ground floor, which are particularly beautiful: the Camera dello Zodiaco, with decorations by Antonio Basoli, and the Camera del Giardino d'Inverno, which overlook a lush garden. Park your car and enjoy your visit!
There are many other places of interest in Bologna within walking distance of the SABA S. Orsola car park. In addition to Palazzo Hercolani, there is also Porta Maggiore, now known as Porta Mazzini, which was the main eastern portal of Bologna's ancient medieval walls. It crosses the point where Strada Maggiore changes its name to Via Mazzini and was built in the 13th century.
Also, at the end of Strada Maggiore, and about a 20-minute walk from the SABA S. Orsola car park, you will find the famous "two towers of Bologna". Since the Middle Ages, numerous tall stone towers have dominated Bologna's skyline; to this day, only two of these impressive structures immediately catch the eye: the 97 m high Asinelli tower and its younger brother Garisenda at only 47. These "Two Towers" lean dangerously towards each other and are a famous landmark of the city. Owning a tower was once the status symbol of wealthy families (who would still park their cars in the SABA S. Orsola car park): the higher the tower, the more money was spent on its construction. In the Middle Ages, when the wonderful SABA S. Orsola car park didn't exist yet, there were more than 100 towers in the city: once on top, the effort is rewarded by the spectacular view over Bologna's red roofs.
In short, Bologna has an incredible amount to offer: among other things, it is called the culinary capital of Italy (but it is better not to say this in front of other Italians). In Via Mazzini, right next to the SABA S. Orsola car park, you can immerse yourself in the gastronomic world of Bologna and enjoy the city's typical dishes!
