The arcades in Bolzano are one of the most authentic streets in the medieval historical center. Since the XI century the arcades protected the market and the goods.
At the back of the colonnade goods were stored on the ground floor. Perishable goods were kept fresh in four underground storage levels, while houses were located in the skylight yard.
Today, like in the past, the arcades in Bolzano offer uncountable purchase opportunities in the centre of the city and is architectonically a joy.
