    The Sanctuary of San Luca, which stands on Colle della Guardia, has been a symbol of Bologna for centuries as well as an object of religious worship. It is connected to the city center by a road which, starting from Porta Saragozza, winds for four kilometers in a portico which, with its more than 600 arches, is the longest in the world and, together with the other porticoes of the city, recently named UNESCO World Heritage.
