San Leonardo, Byzantine Revival church building in Parma, Italy

The San Leonardo church displays red brick facades and features twenty-eight Veronese marble columns that separate its three naves with a deep presbytery.

The original oratory of San Leonardo existed in the Madonnina area since 964, serving as a priory connected to the Abbey of San Benedetto in Polirone.

The church maintains a collection of religious artworks, including a 17th-century Crucifixion by Giovan Battista Bolognini and a Madonna of the Rosary by Giovanni Maria Conti.

Located at Via San Leonardo 11 in Parma, the church stands as a central religious structure in its neighborhood, offering regular services to the local community.

Duke Pier Luigi Farnese ordered the demolition of the original oratory in 1546 along with all buildings within a mile of the city walls for defensive purposes.
