Romanesque church of the early twelfth century, built on the site of an early Christian church (fragments of decorations in the entrance yard). It was heavily restored in 1877 and after World War II.
The building has the typical vestment of Romanesque buildings of Verona, alternating bands of yellow-ocher tufa and red bricks, with a few rows of pebbles arranged in a herringbone pattern. The façade is between two unusual scalar cylindrical towers, through which there was an access to the women's galleries. The porch roof and bell tower (rebuilt in recent times) are dating back to the second half of the fifteenth century.
The interior has three naves. Over the aisles you can find the galleries, with balconies overlooking the main nave.
On the high altar is placed the painting Madonna con Bambino appearing to Saints, by Domenico Brusasorci (1566). Considerable are also some fragments of frescoes of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries depicting angels and saints, and the David by Nicholas Giolfino, located in the left aisle chapel.
