San Tommaso, Parma, Religious building in central Parma, Italy.

San Tommaso is a church in central Parma combining Baroque and Neoclassical styles through its symmetrical facade and classical ornamental details. The building features clean lines and proportions typical of mid-19th century design.

A chapel is documented on this site on 4 July 1028, when Ildegarda sold it to the parish priest of San Pietro di Paderna. The church was rebuilt several times, keeping its original brick left flank. Carlo Salvatore Bettoli designed the facade in 1786, and the building took its present form in 1850. On 21 December 1521, the feast of St Thomas, Parma repelled the besieging French, and the city coat of arms was later set into the north flank in memory of that victory.

The church is dedicated to the apostle Thomas because Parma's expulsion of the French besiegers fell on his feast day, 21 December 1521. A stone coat of arms of the Comune is set into the northern flank to mark that victory, and the city took Thomas as its protector.

The church is located in the city center and is easily reachable on foot from nearby bus stops and other landmarks. The area around it provides space to view the facade and take photographs from different angles.

On the northern side wall, a stone coat of arms of the Comune di Parma recalls 21 December 1521, when the city's inhabitants defeated the besieging French on the feast day of the apostle Thomas. The city then named Thomas its protector, and the church gained new patronage.
