This time, for real, I made it to San Luca.
It was a beautiful day in Bologna, 60 degrees and sunny, which meant that it was time to treck 2 miles through the 666 porticoes that lead to the Santuario Madonna di San Luca.
The basilica is known for an icon of the Madonna and is visited by many pilgrims.
The porticoes were built as a form of protection for transportation of the icon. Construction started in 1674 and ended in 1732.
It's an uphill climb but with beautiful views left and right. It's a little (big) charm of Bologna.
