Basilica of Santo Stefano in Bologna

Bologna is a city with a lot of historical sites that are well worth visiting . The Basilica of Santo Stefano is the most interesting in my opinion . One ticket gets you into a complex of seven interconnected churches as you walk between them you literally move through architectural time .

 

The basilica of Santo Stefano encompasses a complex of religious edifices it is located on Piazza Santo Stefano, and is locally known as Sette Chiese ("Seven Churches”)

 

At the centre of this image is the Church of Saint Stephen or of the Holy Crucifix which dates back to the eighth century . On the far left is Church of the Saints Vitale and Agricola that is the oldest building in the complex dating from the early fifth century . Finally behind the tall tree you can see a little of the Octagonal shape of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre constructed in the late fifth century .

 

THANKS FOR YOUR VISITING BUT CAN I ASK YOU NOT TO FAVE AN IMAGE WITHOUT ALSO MAKING A COMMENT. MANY THANKS KEITH.

 

ANYONE MAKING MULTIPLE FAVES WITHOUT COMMENTS WILL SIMPLY BE BLOCKED
