Park of Montagnola, Urban park in San Vitale district, Bologna, Italy.
The Park of Montagnola stretches across six hectares, featuring numerous walking paths, ancient plane trees, statues, fountains, and a grand Pincio staircase.
Initially created as a municipal park in 1664, the current design emerged during Napoleonic rule in 1808 under architect Giovan Battista Martinetti's direction.
The park hosts the Mercato della Montagnola every Friday and Saturday, where vendors display vintage items, local crafts, and traditional goods.
Located at Via Irnerio 2/3, the park remains open daily from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM without entrance fees, providing benches and picnic areas.
The park stands on an artificial plateau formed by debris from the 14th-century Galliera Castle, which was originally built to accommodate the pope.
