Verona's Cathedral (Duomo)

The Cathedral, which is dedicated to Santa Maria Matricolare is a must-see in Verona. A place full with history and beautiful frescos, art works and statues to admire. The Duomo, originally in Romanesque style, was re-built in the 12th century in Gothic style after an earthquake in 1117 that destroyed the two churches that previously had stood on the very same ground.

Do & See

The whole centre of Verona is well worth visiting, and brimming with its rich collections of churches and palaces. Crowds flock to the house and tomb of Juliet, whose tragic love-story with Romeo was immortalised by William Shakespeare.
