San Giovanni in Foro, Romanesque church near Piazza Erbe, Verona, Italy

The church stands on Corso Porta Borsari with a Renaissance portal decorated with statues of Saints John the Evangelist, Peter, and John the Baptist.

A fire in 1172 caused major damage to the church, as documented by a marble triptych inscription on an external wall reading 'combusta est civitas Verone'.

The interior contains a 13th-century Madonna col Bambino bas-relief created by Maestro Pulia and frescoes depicting San Giovanni on Patmos Island.

The church entrance is located at Corso Porta Borsari 27, with opening hours determined by religious celebration schedules.

During renovations in 1905, workers discovered ancient Roman walls integrated into the external structure, featuring layers of tuff and pebbles in a fishbone pattern.
