About this book
The "Seven Churches" is the name given by popular tradition to the Bolognese complex of Santo Stefano, which has been awarded the title of Sancta Hierusalem, the origins of which are lost in the mists of time. This group of buildings is one of the most complete reproductions existing of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, and has taken on extraordinary religious importance over its history spanning more than a thousand years.
This richly illustrated guidebook accompanies the visitor through the history and the artistic wonders of the complex, trying to render the richness of its invaluable heritage: churches, chapels, paintings, sculptures and objects in silver and gold: a real "treasure" that every year attracts thousands of visitors and pilgrims.
This book is useful for the visit and to further explore the historical-artistic and devotional aspects of a place that is a symbol of Bologna.
