Chiesa San Fermo Maggiore
Religious building with two churches in Verona
The Chiesa San Fermo Maggiore dates from the 5th century and houses the mortal remains of the martyrs San Fermo and San Rustco. The two Veronese men are buried in the main altar. In the 11th century the current Church of San Fermo was built here, a complete new church which includes the original building – the original church is still open for visits today.Upon entering, above the bronze portal you can admire a Crucifixion, the fourteenth century fresco attributed to Turone Maxio. Always behind the facade, but on the right you can see the Martyrdom of the Franciscans in India, another fresco of the fourteenth century and under the Dorotea Saints and Onofrio, of the same period Veronese School.
