Basilica di Santa Anastasia


A gothic church constructed between 1290 and 1481.  The only thing never to be completed was the facade.

St. Anastasia is the largest church in Verona.  The church soars to a great height and the interior is impressive.
Absolutely love the ceiling!!


Above the entrance to the Pellegrini Chapel is the famous fresco
by Pisanello of St. George and the Princess


Holy Water Stoups in the entry of the church.  Carved by Gabriele Caliari (the hunchback) and Paolo Orefice (Pasquino)






 The Giusti Chapel: contains the wooden choir work of Maestro Lorenzo di S. Cecilia
