Additional Information & Description
Time Machine: Tower and Power/Medieval Bologna brings back a skyline largely lost to time. Of the 100 towers built in Bologna, only 22 survive; this virtual-reality experience takes you into the Middle Ages to see the city with its many towers still standing. You can even fly among them, viewing the architecture from above rather than only from street level.
Walk through the medieval city
Put on a VR headset and explore the alleys and courtyards of Bologna’s past. The streets contain more than buildings: butchers and bakers go about their working day, and you can stop in at a tavern as you wander. These encounters give the visit a street-level focus alongside its aerial views, bringing everyday activity into the exploration of medieval Italy.
A reconstruction grounded in research
Historical research underpins the virtual setting, from the layout of the towers and buildings to the clothing worn by the people you encounter. As you admire the architecture, those details connect the city’s physical shape with the lives unfolding within it. The reconstruction lets you look beyond the surviving historic centre and into an earlier version of Bologna.
