The Basilica of San Zeno is a church probably founded in the 9th century on the tomb of Zeno of Verona (300-371). The current Romanesque church dates back to the 10th-11th centuries. The church is famous for its altarpiece of San Zeno, made by Andrea Mantegna (1431-1506).
The Synagogue in Verona was built in 1864 by architect Marco Treves. This Historicist stone building still serves as a synagogue.
The Cathedral of Verona was built from 1120 to 1187 on an ancient 4th century church destroyed by an earthquake in 1117. Over the centuries, especially in the 15th and 16th centuries, the church underwent various modifications. The present layout of the façade dates from the 16th century.
The church of San Giorgio in Braida was preceded by the Romanesque church of a Benedictine monastery that flourished in the 12th and 13th centuries. After a period of decline, the monastery was entrusted to the Canons Regular of San Giorgio in Alga in 1442. It is believed that the construction of the present church began at that time and continued until the 16th century. Under Austrian rule (1815-1866), with the construction of the new fortifications in 1837, a large part of the building was demolished. In 1938, the building underwent a cycle of restoration work that led to the partial reconstruction of the 16th-century cloister.
