One of the main nicknames of the city is “La Dotta”, that means the wise, the learned city. Looking at the Archiginnasio Building I can explain you something more about “the oldest university in the western world” dated 1088 BC!
This is a squared area (quadrilatero) that is also called “medieval market” or “middle market”. I think it would be better to call it the Food District of Bologna.

I can suggest you some nice spot to have a board of cold cuts and cheeses for the end of the tour…
