The Cattedrale Metropolitana di San Pietro in Bologna, Italy is the main church of the Archdiocese of Bologna and an important historic, architectural and religious landmark in the city. Construction on the church dates back to 1088 and the two massive bell towers have remained standing since then. Numerous additions, alterations and reconstructions were made to the church over the course of several centuries, resulting in a well-mixed architectural style. The grand exterior of the church is dominated by the two bell towers, with its pointed arches and late Gothic elements. Its interior is equally impressive, filled with marble sculptures, ornate frescoes, magnificent stained glass windows and a treasury full of artworks. It is also home to the tombs of many important figures from the city’s history, including Pope Gregory XIII and Bartolomeo Zuchelli. All of these elements make the Cattedrale Metropolitana di San Pietro an absolute must-visit for anyone exploring Bologna.
