Bologna Cathedral (Italian: Cattedrale Metropolitana di San Pietro, Cattedrale di Bologna), dedicated to Saint Peter, is the cathedral of Bologna in Italy, and the seat and the metropolitan cathedral of the Archbishop of Bologna. Most of the present building dates from the 17th century, with a few parts from the late 16th century.
There was already a cathedral on the site (on the present Via Indipendenza) in 1028, accompanied by a pre-Romanesque campanile with a circular base (in the architectural tradition of Ravenna). This church was destroyed by a devastating fire in 1141. It was reconstructed, and consecrated by Pope Lucius III in 1184.
Very impressive. Although, I think, the original church was built some 1,000 years ago what you see today is only remotely remind you to the original one. Still, amazing artwork, fantastic architectural marvel. Well worth a visit.

Very beautiful Cathedral but too few of original interiors survived inside after baroque reconstructions. Admission is free but any donation is welcomed and highly appreciated. Visitors are allowed to take non commercial photo without flash light.

At places offering a good birds' eye view of Bologna, two buildings stand out: the San Petronio, and this Cattedrale Metropolitana di San Pietro. Huge.

Unimpressive exterior, very beautiful interior typical of Baroque Italy. Capella Maggiore along with Capella dei Re Magi in San Petronico Basilica were the main reason I decided to visit Bologna

Against the background of other churches in the city, the cathedral is nothing special. It is near the central square and is not particularly large. It is not worth a special visit.
