The Levante Gate is located on one of the ancient city entrances (Mazzini Gate or Porta Maggiore), crossed by the famous Via Emilia. Its strategic location makes it very convenient for both tourist reasons, as it is only 900 meters away from Piazza Maggiore (the historical-cultural center of the city and a great place for shopping and enjoying the local cuisine) along an ancient city street dotted with noble palaces, churches, and typical Bolognese arcades; as well as for health-related reasons, being situated next to important medical facilities such as Villa Nigrisoli, Sant'Orsola Hospital, Villa Torri, Tecnobios Prenatale, and Centro Dermatologico.
