The story

Story · Basilica di San Domenico

You're standing on the square in front of the Basilica of San Domenico, one of the major churches of Bologna. First, look down at your feet. The square is paved with pebbles, just like in medieval times. This is where crowds gathered to hear the friars preach. See the pulpit on the left corner of the church? That's where the sermons came from. This square was also the original cemetery.
