The route of the historic churches is a tour circuit that includes the entrance to 4 different churches in Verona: the Basilica of San Zeno, prototype of the Italian Romanesque which can be reached with a short and pleasant walk along the river from Castelvecchio, the complex of Church of San Fermo which rises not far from the Arena and is characterized by the presence of two splendid superimposed churches (one Romanesque and one Gothic) and finally the two most majestic churches of the city, located in the heart of the ancient city, between Piazza Erbe and Ponte Pietra, or the Cathedral Complex, which includes the Duomo, the Church of Sant'Elena and the Baptistery of San Giovanni in Fonte and the Basilica of S. Anastasia, the largest church in the city, commissioned by the lady of the Scaligeri who ruled Verona throughout the fourteenth century.
The path of the historic churches offers an exceptional panorama for artistic continuity and for the purity of its expressive peaks: from the archaeological excavations that have brought to light the early Christian vestiges of the first Veronese religious buildings we arrive at the Romanesque of the ancient frescoes in San Fermo, of the portals bronze paintings of San Zeno, the bas-reliefs of San Giovanni in Fonte and allegorical sculptures in the Cathedral, you can discover crypts and walk in the cloisters, to finally be entranced by the richness of the Gothic decoration in Santa Anastasia and the many Renaissance masterpieces preserved in all churches, including works by Pisanello, Mantegna and Titian among many
