Santi Nazaro e Celso is one of Brescia's essential art churches, outwardly restrained but rich inside. Its great draw is Titian's Averoldi Polyptych, painted in the early sixteenth century and still powerful enough to justify the detour on its own.
The church also holds works by Moretto and other local painters, so it rewards a slower visit than the facade suggests. For travellers following Brescia's Roman and Lombard sights, this is the stop that brings the city's Renaissance painting tradition into focus.
