Basilica di San Giacomo Maggiore

Why go

The Bentivoglio Chapel brings together family patronage, a patterned floor and paintings by Lorenzo Costa and Francesco Francia in one concentrated space. Elsewhere, the church's long portico and later dome show how the medieval foundation changed over time. Check access to the chapel before making it the sole reason for your stop.

What to look for

• The Bentivoglio Chapel contains Renaissance paintings and a patterned floor.
• A long portico runs along the church's side.
• A Renaissance dome rises above the older church.

Useful to know

• Confirm current access to the Bentivoglio Chapel if its artworks are your priority.
• Combine the basilica with Palazzo Magnani or Palazzo Poggi along Via Zamboni.
