Basilica Di San Petronio
The history of this basilica is fascinating. In fact, its construction dates back to 1390 and it was the place where Charles V was crowned.
However, the enlargements of this construction were stopped by orders of the papal authorities, since it was very close to being a basilica as big as St. Peter's in Rome.
Despite this historical episode, the basilica of San Petronio is the fifth largest in the world.
