Rotonda della Madonna del Monte, Romanesque religious building in Bologna, Italy

The Rotonda della Madonna del Monte features a circular design with 19 interior niches along its perimeter, measuring 10 meters in diameter.

Founded as part of a Benedictine monastery in 1116, the structure underwent restoration in 1938 when the Municipality of Bologna acquired Villa Aldini.

Medieval frescoes within the niches depict apostles and a blessing Christ from the 15th century, representing religious art traditions of Bologna.

The building stands at Via dell'Osservanza 35/a, integrated into the neoclassical Villa Aldini complex on the Osservanza hill.

The Madonna painting, attributed to Simone dei Crocifissi, earned the name Madonna della Vittoria after the 1443 Battle of San Giorgio di Piano.
