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.

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....

In 1510 a first small church was created on the site of the discovery , then during many years and many miracles the church was enlarged. In 1518 was built a friars convent beside the church who it’s still active. Facade with frescoed portico , above the portico a beautiful rose window completed a very simple facade . Inside with one nave and five chapels for each side, the twos beside the central altar are bigger and protected by beautiful wrought iron gate, the one on the right contain the small statue of Madonna of ash tree with beautiful frescoe by Domenico Morone done on 16th century .
