Il Duomo - Verona


The Duomo is the central structure of a complex of architectural buildings.  This church was rebuilt on the foundations of an ancient Christian building and consecrated 1187.




A separate Cathedral, St. Giovanni in Fonte is attached to the Duomo.  This church contains an octagonal Baptismal Font, a masterpiece of romanesque sculpture situated the center of the church.  The font was carved out of one marble block.
