The church of Sant'Eufemia is a Catholic place of worship located in the heart of Verona's historic center. It straddles an ancient Roman cardo, where a church building probably already existed in the 6th century. The foundation of the present church is owed to the Della Scala family, who brought Augustinian hermit monks to Verona in 1262 so that they could be closer to the community and granted them permission to build a monastery, located at the time in the Capitani quarter of the Scaliger city. Through bequests and donations, particularly that of Alberto della Scala, the building could be consecrated in 1331 by the bishop of Verona Nicolò. The building activity, however, did not end, and in the following years the monastery's rooms continued to be expanded in order to accommodate the increasing number of monks who arrived there attracted by the great prestige the community boasted. A permit granted by Mastino II della Scala in 1340 made it possible to further enlarge the church by building the vast apse that still distinguishes it today. From the end of the fourteenth century work continued on the various chapels and minor altars.
