Saint Proculus church

The church contains several frescoes from different periods, including pre-Carolingian and Gothic artworks covering multiple sections of the interior walls.

Built between 630 and 650 AD, this structure replaced an earlier house and received its name from Saint Proculus, a bishop of Verona during Roman times.

The frescoes within the church display various religious scenes, including an unusual representation of Saint Proculus on a swing and a dog herding cows.

The church and adjacent Proculus Museum remain open from March through October, offering guided tours and exhibits about local archaeological discoveries.

Archaeological excavations near the church revealed bones of victims from a devastating spotted fever outbreak that occurred in the 17th century.
