Church of San Zeno al Foro, Baroque Catholic church in Piazza del Foro, Brescia, Italy.

The Church of San Zeno al Foro stands at the crossing of Via dei Musei, the ancient Roman decumanus maximus, and Piazza del Foro, the former forum. Its plastered facade has two orders of composite pilasters and a curved pediment, preceded by a short churchyard with a Baroque iron railing on marble pillars topped by putti and twisted dolphins. The only medieval survival is the polygonal Romanesque apse in brick with small arches. Inside is a single nave with two chapels per side.

A religious structure at this location dates to the 12th century, but the present building was completed in 1745 and replaced the earlier structure. This change reflects the Baroque transformation that Brescia underwent during that period.

The church is dedicated to Saint Zeno, the eighth bishop of Verona in the second half of the 4th century, venerated as protector of freshwater fishermen because he is said to have caught his own fish in the Adige. The name "al Foro" refers to the Roman forum, now Piazza del Foro, where the church stands beside the Capitolium.

Access is via Piazza del Foro in the city center, where the building is easily reached on foot. It is wise to check opening times beforehand, as the church has limited visiting hours depending on services.

The main altar houses a tabernacle made from lapis lazuli and other semi-precious stones, a precious work that shows fine craftsmanship. The carved choir stalls around it tell the story of the church's patron saint San Zeno in sculptural form.
