Verona Duomo I
The Abbazia-Lazzari Capel, with the painting of the Redeemer by Sante Prunati inside Il Duomo in Verona.
Verona’s Duomo was consecrated in 1187, having been built on the site of an ancient Christian structure, and has served as one of the city’s many centres of religious devotion ever since.
It has been worked on for almost all of its 825-year history, with major restoration carried out in the 15th and 16th centuries and the bell tower added in 1927.
The interior is a mixture of architectural styles, from Romanesque in its lower levels to Gothic the higher up you go, which each chapel has its own individual feel.
There is a grand organ and artwork by the likes of Titian and Falconetto decorating the interior.
The Duomo is part of a larger cathedral complex with the churches of San Giovanni in Fonte and Sant’Elana, the latter built roughly over the location of a fourth-century basilica.
Recent restoration has involved the restoration of the frescoes and the lighting system.
