Basilica di San Fedele, Romanesque basilica in Como city center, Italy
The Basilica di San Fedele features three distinct architectural levels on the apse, with round windows below and a loggia above the central section.
The construction of the current structure began in 1120 on the foundation of an earlier church dedicated to Saint Euphemia from the seventh century.
The right transept contains the Chapel of the Crucifix with frescoes by Isidoro Bianchi from 1623 and four paintings depicting Passion scenes by Carlo Carloni.
The basilica opens daily from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 3:30 PM to 7:00 PM, with free admission for all visitors throughout the year.
The portal displays medieval sculptures of dragons competing for prey, likely transferred from the original church of Sant'Eufemia to the current structure.
