Sanctuary of the Madonna of San Luca


This church houses a portrait of Mary, the mother of Jesus, by Luke, the gospel writer. It sits on a hill above Bologna, and is reached from the city by a long arcade with 666 arches (seen on the left). The arcade, with its mixture of stairs and ramps, seemed to be a popular place to exercise. Google images has a nice variety of photos showing the painting, church, and arcade.
