Church of San Giacomo Maggiore

This church, whose name translates to Saint James the Greater in English, was built between 1267 and 1315 in the Romanesque style. Gothic and Renaissance elements were added later, giving the building its current appearance. You’ll notice this blend of styles when you step into the nave, where you’ll find remarkable 15th-century decorations and the Bentivoglio and Poggi chapels. You’ll also have the chance to visit the Oratory of Saint Cecilia, the oldest part of the church, home to beautiful 16th-century frescoes depicting her life. Originally built by the Augustinians, this church is a true architectural gem, bringing together Romanesque, Gothic, and Renaissance styles under one roof.
