The Church of Saints Nazarius and Celsus (Italian: Chiesa dei Santi Nazario e Celso) is a Catholic church near Montechiaro d'Asti, Italy. It is located on the side of a hill called Bric San Nazario and is easily visible in the countryside thanks to its tall bell tower and the chromatic effect due to the alternating stripes of bricks and sandstone. It is an important example of the Romanesque architecture of Montferrat.
