  A beautiful basilica right in the heart of Bologna. Definitely a place to check out when visiting this city. Be aware that the church charges 2 Euro to take pictures inside and has a guideline to appropriate clothing when entering the basilica.

  This basilica is breathtaking and it’s not hard to see why this is the tenth biggest church in the world(measured in volume). The only disappointment is it costs 2€ to take pictures. The outside is half in marble, half in brick. The project was never completed.
