Architecture in Bologna

Bologna's architecture spans a remarkable range of periods and styles. The Basilica di San Petronio anchors the Piazza Maggiore with its famously unfinished façade, while the Basilica di Santo Stefano forms a medieval complex of interconnected churches and courtyards. The Basilica di San Domenico and the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta add further layers to the city's religious built heritage. Beyond the historic centre, the Castello Estense, Castello di Montecuccolo, and Castle of Pico represent the region's fortified past. The Bologna Museum of Modern Art, the Archaeological Civic Museum, and Bologna Centrale station round out a diverse architectural picture.
