A church of 2 parts, the lower church is subterranean, beautiful frescoes are extremely well preserved. One in particular of St Francis is from the 14th century and one of the oldest in art history. There are remains of the old church beneath grills which are from the 6th century. The ceiling above the altar is simple and charming. The upper church is stunning, from the wooden ceiling, painted with the images of 416 saints to the altar, the Alighieri Chapel where the descendants of Dante are buried to St Anthony’s Chapel where frescoes were found behind marble during restoration. Worth every penny of the €4 entry. Make sure you are dressed appropriately too, covered shoulders are a must.

This is one of the 3 churches we visited in Verona, part of the Verona Pass so the entrance is already "paid for". We thoroughly enjoyed the amazing wooden ceiling, very different from what we've seen. 416 saints in total. It also has a much older church beneath the newer church, in the basement. We are always so amazed by the architecture of these incredible churches throughout Italy. Well worth the time spent here.

It is on two levels, but there was a mass in progress so we only spent a few minutes looking at the upper level. The upper church has a huge altar set in a beautifully painted wall. It is very tall, with a beautiful wooden ceiling. There are several richly decorated side chapels. Too bad we couldn’t access the sixth century church below.
