San Tomaso Becket

San Tomaso Becket, Renaissance church near Ponte Nuovo del Popolo, Verona, Italy.

San Tomaso Becket is a church in Verona just across the Ponte Nuovo del Popolo, built from about 1449 and consecrated in 1504. Its austere facade has a circular rose window and a wide portal thought to come from another building. Inside is a single nave with a red and white square-patterned floor, a wooden truss ceiling, and eight altars in Renaissance arches.

A papal bull of 1185 first records a chapel of St Thomas in the Isolo, the island between the Adige and a secondary canal. Carmelites replaced the Benedictines in the early 14th century and built the Annunciate church from 1351. In the early 15th century they demolished the older St Thomas church and enlarged the Annunciate one, begun around 1449 and consecrated on 22 September 1504.

The interior displays paintings by local Renaissance artists across eight altars framed by period arches. These works by masters such as Paolo Farinati and Francesco Torbido represent the artistic talent that flourished in the Verona region.

The church sits near Verona's central area on Stradone San Tomaso and is reachable on foot. Visitors can call ahead or stop by to check opening times and access details.

The church stands in the Isolo, a district that was once a true island between the Adige and a secondary canal. After the 1882 flood, embankments were built along the Adige, the canal was cut off and drained, and the island ceased to exist. An inscription on the pillar right of the facade records the purchase of stones around 1449.
