Santi Apostoli, Romanesque church in central Verona, Italy.
Santi Apostoli is a Romanesque church in central Verona situated along Corso Cavour, featuring preserved Romanesque walls and a distinctive stone and brick bell tower. An older underground chapel dedicated to Saints Teuteria and Tosca survives beneath the main structure, accessible from the north side through the sacristy.
The church began in 751 but was built upon fifth-century foundations. Major rebuilding work in the twelfth century gave it the form we see today.
The church houses a medieval ark with carved reliefs from 1428 and holds the relics of Saints Teuteria and Tosca inside. These two saints remain closely connected to the building, drawing visitors who come to pay respects at their resting place.
The building sits along Corso Cavour in a central location, making it easy to reach on foot. The partly underground chapel can be accessed through the sacristy on the north side, allowing visitors to explore the older sections of the structure.
The bell tower holds six bells dating to 1817 that still ring out as part of Verona's traditional bell-calling customs. These bells represent a long-standing craft and form a distinctive part of the city's soundscape.
