Chiesa di San Michele, Romanesque church in Arcè, Pescantina, Italy

The Chiesa di San Michele exhibits traditional Romanesque architecture with a single-nave layout, circular apse, and quadrangular bell tower from the 17th century.

The first documentation of the church appears in a papal bull from 1154, indicating its dependence on the Abbey of San Fermo Minore in Verona.

The church interior contains 14th-century frescoes, including a depiction of Saint Michael Archangel spearing the damned in hell on the apse wall.

The church maintains its original wooden truss ceiling and features a marble Baroque altar, with regular access for religious services and architectural visits.

The southern entrance displays a 12th-century palindrome inscription reading 'SATOR AREPO TENET OPERA ROTAS' carved above its rounded arch.
