San Paolo in Campo Marzio, Verona, Baroque Catholic church in Verona, Italy.
San Paolo in Campo Marzio is a baroque church in Verona with multiple altars displaying paintings by Italian Renaissance artists. The spatial layout allows visitors to discover artworks in different sections of the interior.
The church was founded in 1289 by the Umiliati order and underwent deep changes under Alessandro Pompei in 1763. World War II damage was followed by the building's restoration.
The name San Paolo refers to Saint Paul, and the interior displays works by local artists such as Girolamo dai Libri, whose religious scenes shape the character of the space. The paintings allow visitors to experience Verona's artistic traditions directly as they move through the church.
The church space is open at various times for services and visitors, so it is worth checking in advance when you come. The best time is outside of masses to view the artworks at the altars without interruption.
The Marogna chapel houses an altarpiece by Paolo Veronese from the 16th century that depicts family members in the religious scene. This was a common practice among wealthy families in the Renaissance who wanted to ensure their presence in holy spaces.
