I focused more on the exteriors then. Marbles twisted like ropes, taken along the archway of the doors, marbles chiseled with stories – ageless and timeless intricately carved beautiful facades. I ran my fingers over the twists and turns on them. My sensory nerves trying to grasp the beauty all at the same time.

the structure with a turquoise dome is so elegant...
It's too bad you couldn't get any interior shots, but the detail in the exterior pictures you could take is stunning.
lovely architecture. i bet the interior is equally impressive. have a wonderful week.
Oh, if I ever make it to Bologna, I will have to bring a sketchbook! I have a hard time when they say "no photography inside."
Lovely details you captured.
The exterior shots are fantastic. What a beautiful cathedral.
Spectacular beauty and wonderful shots. No wonder people fainted when presented with so much beauty a couple of hundred years ago.
Indrani, It is lovely how you describe the beauty of the ancient buildings. Yes, sometimes it is a disappointment if you are not allowed to take pictures inside. You have done well to show the spectacular facades of the cathedral.
very nice, just hope these beautiful buildings will never be destroyed by earthquakes like some of our.
Gorgeous cathedral and superb captures.. love the one with the turquoise tomb and a flag pole!!
:)
have a lovely fun weekend ahead!!
nice
Beautiful place. Even the exteriors are grand.
Lovley details and superb captures!
The grandness expose extreme in these exterior images, to imagine how might be inside. Nice being here after long time :)
A beautiful Cathedral (but I haven't been there..), and with beautiful carvings, which you show usin details, beautiful Indrani! :)
It amazes «Louis» how stone can be turned into such beautiful shapes.
While photography wasn't allowed inside, the photographs in your mind will last and last...
Wow.. what a beautiful place. I love that dash of bright blue of the umbrella in that first pic too.
Love it! It's amazing.
Utterly gorgeous.
Very nice trip and beautiful photos!
Very fine post about the Cathedral of San Pietro in Bologna. In the small pictures you well describe the beautiful details too.
Happy weekend :-)
Any particular reason why photography was not allowed inside? Generally you do not have such restrictions, except maybe that the flash might disturb those in prayer
Gorgeous details, Indrani.
Awesome!! If the outside is so beautiful,I wonder how it would have been, inside!
Bella Bella, Indrani!

You got so many beautiful photos...on the outside. Too bad about the photography ban!
beautiful pictures, nice details
The outside is beautiful, so I can imagine the inside is truly stunning.
Even the exterior shots are very impressive.
Hi Indrani, beautiful pictures! It's a pity photography is not allowed inside... :(
Hi Indrani! Bologna is a wonderful town... and a greta University. Even in the rain...
I’m going to be offline working in a «remote» location next week, but left you in a new destination in Blogtrotter Two... Enjoy and have a great week!
Its a shame photography is not allowed inside!
Gorgeous photographs!
I've visited Italy about eight times but, never, Bologna. I hear the food there is some of the best in Italy. The church is beautiful. Too bad they did not even allow non-flash photography. The outside is stunning.
