    The basilica of San Petronio (Baṡéllica and San Ptròni in Bolognese) is the largest church in Bologna: it dominates the Piazza Maggiore opposite and, despite being largely unfinished, is one of the largest churches in Europe. Its imposing dimensions (132 meters in length and 60 in width, with a height of the vault of 44.27 meters, while on the facade it touches 51 meters) make it the fourth largest church in Italy (the third, if you excludes St. Peter, which has been part of the Vatican City State since 1929). With its volume of 258,000 m³, the basilica is the largest brick Gothic church in the world. It has the title of minor basilica. (source Wikipedia)
