Church of Saints Nicholas and Severo (Bardolino)
Highlight • Religious Site
Mentioned in a deed of Berengario from 983, rebuilt and enlarged at the beginning of the 12th century, it became a parish church but later fell into disrepair for a long time until the mid-18th century when the confreres of the Holy Sacrament settled there : They saved the building from total decay, but made a series of interventions, the most notable of which was the demolition of the main apse to make room for a larger rectangular choir.
