It is a large cathedral, the main building on the main square. It is really luxurious, especially the magnificent interior of the church. The statue of the Death of Jesus is worth seeing, it is pretty good.
This is a church with a very large building volume. The most beautiful thing inside is a group of sculptures called the Death of Jesus, which is very vivid. The interior of the entire lobby is also very luxurious, the murals are very good, and the dome is also very beautiful.

Piazza Maggiore is located in the center of Bologna. It was built in 1200. To the north of the square are two medieval palaces built in the early 13th century, and to the south is the Cathedral of San Petronio, which was built in 1390 AD and has not yet been completed. In the center of the square is an open-air cinema, where movies are shown every night (with commercials inserted at the same time). Bologna is my favorite Italian city. The buildings are simple and elegant, clean and tidy. There is the University of Bologna, the first university in Europe. Bologna is a wealthy city, and famous car brands such as Ferrari and Maserati were born here.
A very old square in Bologna, it is also the core area of ​​tourism. There are many good places to visit in the square, and the facilities are quite complete. I like the night scenery here, and the buildings are quite unique.
