The Church of Saints Nazaro and Celso, in Piazza San Giorgio in Bellano, was built in the mid-14th century with elegant Gothic forms.
Its façade is monumental, with alternating bands of black and white marble and a large rose window with terracotta and glass architraves. Between the rose window and the portal is a Gothic aedicule embellished with a marble statue dedicated to Saint Ambrose, now housed inside.
The three-nave structure has undergone several restorations over the centuries, especially following the pastoral visits of Saint Charles, who commissioned the construction of the sacristy and bell tower in 1567.
The 15th and 16th-century frescoes are noteworthy, including a polyptych depicting the life of Saint John the Baptist (1525-1530), by an unknown artist but very close to Venetian and French influences.
The church's importance is also due to its precious late-Gothic processional cross, a 15th-century wall tabernacle, the marble baptistery, and the 17th-century carved wooden confessionals.
