Beautiful church built at the height of italian gothic, and as it couldn't be otherwise, highly decorated with statuary and the most amazing floral motifs that cover the whole of the vault. Well worth the visit
We where very impressed about style, colors, and ... sounds. By chance we attended a rehearsal of a concert for voice and organ. We could not leave the atmosphere!
lovely gothic church. 2.50 euro to enter with English pamphlet guide....beautiful and well worth it . I only wished this church offered music as the acoustics were amazing
The outside isn't much to look at, but the inside is fantastic! This ranked as my favorite church, only bested by St. Peter's Basilica, but still number one for atmosphere. There was a man playing popular songs on the organ and no "photo police," in fact the girls in the office said flash was not a problem (I still didn't use it). The flooring is original and still beautiful. There are many chapels to see, with famous works of art and sculpture. Our favorites were the Holy water hunchbacks. Local lore has it that if you touch their "hump" they will bring you good luck. We paid 12 Euros to enter (family of 4, kids 7 and 13) and spent another 8 Euros on lighting candles. Walking around this church felt more like being in a revered museum, light and warm fuzzy feelings. There were no "flash" police. People were respectful. Voices were kept low, but people were free to express, unlike the Sistine Chapel where the biggest noise makers are the "shushers" constantly barking at the crowd and pushing people along...This place is classy.
Wonderful Gothic church with amazing architecture and décorWe visited this church as part of a city deal - 4 churches for €6 - brilliant valueThe various altars and Frescos are a must see - def take the time to visit this wonderful Church
Take an hour (or 2) of your day and visit this lovely Church (largest in Verona). 2.5 EURO to enter and they give you a brochure describing the history of many of the altars, statues, etc.Be sure to go into the private prayer room to the back left as you walk towards the main altar.
Loved the art and architecture, and acoustics during mass. The Christmas Nativity scene was very touching, and I appreciated the opportunity to donate to their missions. Especially the adorable young girl scouts outside.
Beautiful art. Strong impact. We got out of the rain and stayed dry. Built in the 1400's but they added a computer light and sound system.
The only way you get to enjoy this church without paying is to go to Mass on Christmas Day and you get everything for free and your heart comes out the door singing.What a magical experience to go into this church and hear its acoustics. The choir and the music was devine.You should not have to pay to enter any church and in Verona they charge you to go I to most of them.Churches are for the people.
A very lovely church and because it was Christmas everything in the city looked beautiful. The architecture and art work were well worth seeing
