Basilica di San Fedele

The Basilica di San Fedele is a significant religious site in Como, Italy, with roots dating back to the 7th century.

Originally dedicated to Saint Euphemia, the current structure was completed in 1120 after the martyr San Fedele's relics were interred in the altar. This Lombard Romanesque basilica showcases three naves adorned with 16th- and 17th-century frescoes, including the notable Beheading of San Fedele. The intricately carved choir features work by Comacini masters depicting mythical creatures.
