10 Churches & Cathedrals in Verona That You Shouldn't Miss
So splendid was medieval Verona that its reputation alone inspired Shakespeare to set two plays here (Romeo and Juliet and The Two Gentlemen of Verona). Though its connection to the actual Capulets is tenuous at best, the so-called Juliet's House draws half a million tourists per year, many of them keen on reenacting the balcony scene. Don't miss the Roman amphitheater and the Palazzo Barberi.

The ticket to visit the Basilica is very reasonable and you can have an audio tour as you walk around which is fascinating; the Basilica is dedicated to the Saint of Verona and the month of May is dedicated to him. Worth the visit as inside is serene and very special indeed.

S. Luca is an excellent example of a Veronese Romanesque church. Most of the building was restored in 1753. On the inside of the facade is a stational cross made by a Veronese artist in 1340. A "Guardian Angel" by Claudio Ridolfi and "Assunta" by Orbetto hang on either side of the right hand door

There are four major historic churches in Verona, which mean you have to have time to visit them. Sadly, given the heat of one of the hottest days of the year, we could only manage a couple, but this was top of our list. The outside, as other reviewers have noted, is quite plain and indeed the west end is still incomplete several centuries after it was built. Here, for those of you who have visited the Scaliger tombs, is another link as the family were major benefactors of the church which was (almost) completed in the 15th century The largest church in Verona, it contains important works of art, both in the altars and in the recently-discovered frescos on the walls, plus also amusing things like the unique Holy Water Stoops (1495 and 1591). There is an admission fee to enter, but if you have time to visit the other churches you can buy a good-value ticket to all four. The admission desk will advise on your options. Do not miss this and the Duomo....

We took shelter here from torrential rain and even though it wasn't on our agenda we were thrilled to have gone in. It's a beautiful red-brick church with two levels: Benedictine church below, with beautiful frescoes, and an upper church with a stunning wooden ceiling, apparently the best preserved of its kind.
