## [Bolzano, meets the "Olympic town" in Italy]
Bolzano is the capital of South Tyrol in northern Italy, close to the Austrian border and north-northwest of Venice. Since 1964 it has been the bishop's residence of the newly established Catholic Church of the State of Polzano. It is a tourist attraction and is known for its attractions in the Alps. It is also the only city in Italy that speaks German. The street name is bilingual and is a small antique town. Similar to most European towns, there are churches, vintage buildings, and a square.
There is a saying that Bolzano is a very strange city. It is close to Austria and has many ski resorts. Most of the locals speak German and the restaurant menu also has German. It seems to the Italians that there is a German sentiment; in the eyes of the Germans, it is a good place to spend a holiday in Italy. However, for our rushed tourists, the feeling is not strong, only that the architectural style of the building is indeed full of the style of the Austrian town.
The town is also in the ZTL area, so I found an underground car park to park the car and walk to Watt Square. Bolzano Cathedral is right next to the Walter Square, a Romanesque church that was built in the 12th century and is considered one of the most outstanding Gothic buildings. Watt Square is named after the European medieval poet Walther von der Vogelweide, standing in the middle of the square. There are restaurants and restaurants around the square. The statue is backed by flowers and looks forward to the majestic cathedral.
Due to its border with Austria, it is also compatible with many Austrian styles. The building is full of the style of the Austrian town, and the goods on the street are also full of German and Austrian characteristics. Even some snacks continue the tradition of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Discovering the Beauty of Bolzano Cathedral
#europetrip #italy #bolzano
Visiting Bolzano Cathedral, also known as the Cathedral of the Assumption of Our Lady, was an awe-inspiring experience for me. Located in the heart of Bolzano, its Gothic and Romanesque architecture immediately drew my attention, especially the striking multicolored tiled roof and the elegant Gothic bell tower reaching skyward. Stepping inside, I was captivated by the soaring vaulted ceilings, intricately carved altars, and vivid frescoes that seemed to bring biblical stories to life. The main portal, adorned with detailed bas-reliefs, was a testament to the artistry of medieval craftsmanship. I found myself particularly drawn to the Chapel of the Holy Cross, with its unique vaulted fresco ceiling depicting Christ and the Apostles. The tranquil atmosphere and the soft light streaming through the stained-glass windows offered a perfect moment of reflection. Standing in the square afterward, gazing at the Dolomites in the distance, I felt deeply connected to the history and beauty of this remarkable place.
