Portico di via Santa Caterina
Portico di via Santa Caterina, Medieval portico in Bologna, Italy.
The Portico di via Santa Caterina features low stone arches and wooden beams that create a covered walkway along this historic Bologna street.
Built during the 14th and 15th centuries, this portico was constructed following the 1288 municipal statute requiring all new buildings to include covered walkways.
This portico serves as part of Bologna's UNESCO World Heritage network, representing centuries of community life and pedestrian movement through the city.
Visitors can walk through this covered passage year-round to explore Bologna's architectural heritage while staying protected from weather conditions.
The portico maintains its original medieval character with exposed wooden structural elements visible alongside traditional stone masonry construction techniques.
