Abbazia
di San Zeno
The church, documented since
1029, was built over pre-existing buildings: during recent excavations
the foundations of a building with three apses have been found. In the
XII century it was under the Camaldolesi monks; until the XV century, a
hospital was annexed to it. It has a nave and two aisles; the façade is
preceded by a porch supported by pilasters and central column; the
second order is opened by biforas; there are lozenge decorations and
seven Islamic ceramic basins from the XI century (copies: the original
ones are kept in the Museum of San Matteo). The interior keeps Roman
capitals and a few traces of medieval mural paintings. |
