It is the most spiritual place in Bologna. It is also called 'sette chiese' as over the centuries there used to be 7 churches. Mind you, they close for lunchtime.

Really amazing! Quite a surprise inside- not what one expects in an Italian church. Seemed much more of a 15th century style and just a maze of rooms that the outside belied. Beautiful stonework, unique features, great museum with amazing religious artifacts. Worth a visit. And at night concerts are featured outside on the small piazza in front of it.

One of the places that I most like in Bologna.. when I first saw the church .. I thought: ok nothing special , but I was really impressed when I got into the church to find out that there are 7 churches located together in the piazza !! The yard has its own magic .. I so enjoy having coffees, cocktails and ICE cream there !! Live Bologna and feel its spirit in the amazing piazza Santo Stefano!!
