Not everybody knows that a massive church in Via Indipendenza, Cattedrale di San Pietro, is an actual cathedral (or Duomo) of Bologna - contrary to some tourists’ belief. Is it worth checking out? Absolutely yes, for some impressive gothic interiors - plus, it turns out to be enormous once you step inside! The cathedral's campanile, or bell tower, is one of the tallest in Bologna and houses the impressive bell named "La Nonna." You can find local street artists showcasing their works nearby as well as some occasional vintage markets right around the corner.
