The Basilica of Santo Stefano is known as the complex of the "Seven Churches". The bishop of the city San Petronio, in the fifth century, had it built to leave a tangible sign of the passion of Christ.

Everything starts near via Gerusalemme and from there everything enters into correlation with the Holy Sepulcher. The seven churches of the Basilica of Santo Stefano are considered the Bolognese Jerusalem, or places that recall the Holy Land, built around 430 by the now Bishop of Bologna Petronius, who later became Saint and Patron of the City. The building is considered one of the oldest in the city, where in the Crypt and inside there are the remains of S. Vitale and Agricola, the protomartyrs of the Bolognese Church. St. Petronio had just seen it by having the Holy Sepulcher rebuilt in the Basilica, as he had seen it at the time, because at the time to be able to visit the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem it required at least a year of travel, thus intercepting the many pilgrims who they came to visit. The Sepulcher remains a living testimony of how it looked then, because over the years the original has undergone many changes. In the various places the Passion, the scourging and finally the place where the body of Jesus was laid is gathered. The Column placed in the Holy Sepulcher, where the signs of the lashes to which the condemned were subjected are reported, the washing where Pilate washed his hands and left the fate of Jesus to the people, Peter's rooster who crowed 3 times to remind him of his betrayals. The Basilica can be visited without any payment, if not a request for a free offer, making it accessible to all and this is very appreciable, because to maintain such a complex, it must not be easy.
