San Bernardino, Gothic church in Verona, Italy.
San Bernardino is a Gothic church in Verona featuring a single, elongated nave supported by wooden roof trusses. The interior contains multiple side chapels decorated with frescoes and religious artwork throughout its walls.
Construction began in 1452 following the canonization of Saint Bernardino, driven by the desire to create an important pilgrimage destination for the local faithful. This foundation marked a significant moment in Verona's religious life during the Renaissance.
The church is named after Saint Bernardino, a Franciscan friar whose devotion spread widely across Verona during the 15th century. Believers came here to seek his intercession and participate in celebrations honoring his life and spiritual teachings.
The church is easily accessible to visitors throughout the day, though opening times may vary based on religious services. Plan your visit outside of service times if you prefer a quieter experience to explore the interior comfortably.
The Pellegrini Chapel, designed by Michele Sanmicheli, displays a rare blend of Gothic and Renaissance architectural elements in its structure. This chapel stands apart through its distinctive design compared to other spaces within the church.
