Create an itinerary including San Fermo Maggiore, Verona

Famous for its wooden ceiling, San Fermo Maggiore, Verona holds the remains of two local saints. Completed in the 15th century, the building combines elements of both Romanesque and Gothic styles. The wooden ceiling extends over the nave, while two paintings of the crucifixion occupy prominent spaces above the main and side entrances. Take a look at the tomb of Nicolo Brenzoni, a wealthy Veronese citizen who died in 1422. Considered a minor masterpiece, the tomb features elements carved by sculptor Nanni di Bartolo, as well as painted images by Renaissance artist Pisanello.

Beautiful churches, interesting history, amazing art. The ceiling is impressive. Take the time to take it all in. Well worth the entrance fee - it is 8 euro for 4 churches - fantastic deal.

Beautiful church with a small chapel (downstairs at the left after the checkpoint) and the main site (upstairs at the right after the checkpoint) - remember to check the ceiling: more than 400 paintings of saints! Free with the Verona Card.
