Verona - San Fermo Maggiore

The relics of Saints Fermo and Rustico, beheaded on the banks of the Adige in 304, were worshipped in this church since the 8th century. Benedictine friars replaced the existing basilica between 1065 and 1143. After the Franciscans took over in 1261 a Gothic "modernisation" and enlarging process was started.
