Piazza MaggiorePhoto: Maurizio De Mattei, Adobe Stock
Piazza Maggiore is the main square of Bologna and is located in the heart of the city's historic centre. The square is surrounded by impressive medieval buildings and is considered one of the most beautiful squares in Italy. It has been the centre of urban life in Bologna for centuries and is still a lively meeting place for locals and travellers alike.
The square is dominated by the characteristic Basilica di San Petronio, which was originally intended to be larger than St Peter's Basilica in Rome, but construction was personally halted by the Pope. The unfinished façade of the church adds to its charm and gives it a unique character. The square is also home to the Palazzo d'Accursio, once the seat of the city government, and the 13th-century Palazzo del Podestà.
