Dozza, Medieval village in Metropolitan City of Bologna, Italy
Dozza sits at an elevation of 190 meters, featuring ancient stone buildings and narrow streets that wind through its historical center point.
The 13th-century fortified castle served as a strategic defensive position, later becoming the residence of several noble families from the Bologna region.
The village walls transform into an outdoor art exhibition during the Biennale del Muro Dipinto, when artists create permanent murals on building facades.
The Regional Wine Cellar in the castle basement stores over 800 wine labels from Emilia-Romagna, offering tastings and sales throughout the year.
Local houses display a permanent collection of murals painted directly on their exterior walls, creating an evolving open-air art museum.
