The Gothic Cathedral in Bolzano, Italy.

"Bolzano is a city in the Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol region of Italy. The city's Italian-Austrian character, enhanced by the narrow cobblestone streets, Habsburg-era churches and pervasive bilingual signage give it the unique flavour of a city at crossroads between Italian and Austrian cultures. This, and its natural and cultural attractions make it a renowned tourist destination.

The Gothic Cathedral was started in 1184, probably on the foundations of a Roman villa and rebuilt in the 14th Century by architects Martin and Peter Schiche (completed 1382)" – Wikipedia
