Basilica di Santa Maria dei Servi
The Basilica of Santa Maria dei Servi was built between 1346 and 1383 as a church of the Order of the Servants of Mary, and was probably designed by the Bolognese architect Antonio di Vincenzo. From the date of its completion and over the following centuries, the church was modified and redecorated several times. The bell tower was erected in 1453. In 1797, following the arrival of Napoleon's troops in Bologna, the church and the monastery were used as barracks. In 1802, the church became a parish church and, after the Restoration, the Servants of Mary were able to return in 1815.
