Sant'Apollinare in Veclo

Sant'Apollinare in Veclo, Baroque church in Ravenna, Italy.

Sant'Apollinare in Veclo is a small brick church in Ravenna with a Greek-cross plan. Its simple facade has two pilasters per side, a central portal and a window above. Inside, the altar of Saint Apollinaris faces the entrance, a Madonna statue fills the right niche, and the main altar stands in the left niche.

The Clarisse Cappuccine community was founded in Ravenna by Sister Chiara Pascoli, who took solemn vows with the first sisters on 21 November 1683. The monastery was initially near Santa Maria in Porto, but the Napoleonic occupation closed it and expelled the nuns. After their return, Sister Teresa Miani opened the monastery in its current seat, inaugurated in April 1823.

The name "In Veclo" may mean "old", distinguishing it from Sant'Apollinare Nuovo, or "vicolo", the alley that once linked San Giovanni Battista with San Vitale. The church belongs to the monastery of the Clarisse Cappuccine, whose founder in Ravenna, Suor Chiara Pascoli, made her solemn vows with the first sisters on 21 November 1683.

The church sits in a neighborhood with other religious buildings, allowing visitors to explore several sites in one visit. The interior is modest and compact, making it suitable for a brief stop while touring the area.
