San Zeno al Foro, Brescia

San Zeno al Foro is a church in center of the city of Brescia, situated in Piazza del Foro on the Via dei Musei, a few yards from the ruins of the Roman Capitoline temple in the city.

The interior, entrance and presbytery, is decorated by four canvases depicting Prayer in the Garden, Baptism of Christ, Annunciation, and Birth of Jesus, (1741) by Antonio Paglia.

In the first altar to the right is a painting dedicated to the Saced Heart of Jesus by Cesare Bortolotti, that in 1888 replaced an altarpiece by Paglia.

The first altar on the left dedicated to Saints Erasmo and Venanzio was painted by Giuseppe Tortelli.

The choir stalls are carved with scenes from the life of the bishop St Zeno.
