Santi Bartolomeo e Gaetano, Renaissance minor basilica near Two Towers, Bologna, Italy
The church features a central nave with decorated ceilings, multiple chapels, and a bell tower completed in 1694 following Renaissance architecture principles.
Originally established in the 5th century, the current structure dates from 1516 when architect Andrea da Formigine designed it for the Gozzadini family.
The ceiling paintings include works by Angelo Michele Colonna, while the altars display masterworks by Ludovico Carracci and Francesco Albani from the 17th century.
The basilica remains an active religious center with regular services and maintains special viewing hours for architectural and art appreciation visits.
The church facade results from an interrupted palace construction project, creating an asymmetrical design that incorporates a side portico instead of a traditional front.
