San Biagio Chapel, Gothic chapel in Verona, Italy

The San Biagio Chapel is housed within the Santi Nazaro e Celso church complex and displays Gothic architecture with pointed arches and ribbed vaults throughout its interior. The altar contains a painting by Francesco Bonsignori that shows the Virgin and Child in Glory alongside Saints Blaise, Sebastian, and Juliana.

Construction began on 7 March 1488, when Abbot Germano da Piacenza laid the foundation stone; the following year the Compagnia di San Biagio was formed to finance the work, with Beltrame Iarola supervising and Giovanni Maria Falconetto contributing to the design. The first service was held on 30 July 1491, the relics were translated at Easter 1508, and the building was finished only in 1528. Gian Pietro Carafa, the future Pope Paul IV, consecrated the chapel on 31 January 1529.

The chapel displays frescoes depicting stories from Saint Blaise's life painted by Giovanni Maria Falconetto and other artists of his time. These religious images have drawn visitors for centuries who wish to understand the devotion and artistic expression of that era.

The chapel is located in central Verona and is easily reachable on foot from the city's main attractions. Visitors should keep in mind that this chapel is part of a larger church complex and visiting hours depend on the church's schedule.

The relics of Saints Blaise and Juliana reached this monastery in 1174 through Boniface, a German baron in Frederick Barbarossa's retinue, who died at its hospice and left the bodies he had taken from the Holy Land to the abbot who nursed him. They stayed under the high altar until the chapel was built.
