San Martino, Minor basilica in Bologna, Italy

San Martino features three naves separated by pillars and ogival arches, displaying a combination of Gothic and Renaissance architectural elements throughout its structure.

The basilica's foundation dates back to 1227, and in 1293 it was entrusted to the Carmelite monks who continue to manage the parish to this day.

The interior houses notable artworks including the Madonna and Child by Francesco Francia and the Adoration of the Child by Paolo Uccello from 1437.

The basilica stands in its namesake square in Bologna's historic center, with geographical coordinates of 44.4972 latitude and 11.3467 longitude.

The church's bell tower rises forty meters high and contains four bells cast by Cesare Brighenti in 1949.
