Churches of Verona:
San Nazaro e Celso

Saints Nazaro and Celso church was built in the second half of fifteenth century on the site of a eighth century holy building and part of an old Benedictine monastery. Nowadays the entrance to its elegant courtyard is decorated by a wall with a monumental portal built 1688.
The facade is simple and austere, in bricks with large Renaissance windows.
The inside is divided in a nave and two aisles with interesting chapels and paintings on both sides. On the left the amazing St Biagio chapel with magnificent fresco decorations and the beautiful altar piece by Bonsignori.
The church of Saints Nazaro and Celso is in Veronetta, a very ancient area of Verona in its eastern side and can be part of a guided itinerary of the left bank of river Adige.
