Bologna, Italy Picture: Medieval Building, modified.

James Martin
People also interact with buildings in Bologna. Here, the ancient and modern are juxtaposed in a building along the via San Stefano, which runs from the towers to the interesting "7 churches" of San Stefano, one of the more interesting church complexes you'll ever visit. Founded on the site of an ancient spring, the site has been sacred for over 2000 years. Like the picture above, building styles in the San Stefano complex have changed from Roman to medieval and finally to the Romanticist style of the last restoration.
