Chiesa di Santa Maria

The Chiesa di Santa Maria is a Catholic church in Bologna with origins dating to 1450, placing its foundation at the crossroads of late Gothic and early Renaissance building traditions. Recognised as an Italian national monument, it holds protected status under Italian heritage law. Detailed records on its construction history, later modifications, and interior furnishings are sparse; visitors to Bologna encounter the church within one of Italy's richest urban concentrations of medieval and Renaissance religious architecture.
