Basilica di Sant' Anastasia

This is the largest church in Verona, built by the Dominicans in 1290 and completed in 1481 (the front facade isn't finished).

Everything about it is impressive: the doors, a high brick bell-tower built in the 15th century, paintings of plants decorating the dome, famous holy water stoups (1 from 1495 carved by Gabriele featuring a hunchback that's said to bring good luck to all who touch his hump, and a slightly larger 1 from 1591 carved by Paolo Orefice), wonderful paintings and reliefs. It's really a must-see when you're in Verona.

The picture's showing the larger holy water stoup known as 'Pasquino' ('Pasqua' means 'Easter' in Italian) because it 1st appeared in the church at Easter in 1591.

Pasquino

You can also see a part of the original flooring (1444), made up of 3 colours-white, black (the Dominican habit) and red (the martyrdom of St. Peter of Verona to whom the Basilica's dedicated).

Tomba Di Giulietta

the story

Visit the picturesque former Capuchin monastery, the place where the great love of Romeo and Juliet ended, and Juliet's Tomb there. You can even write a letter and leave it in the sarcophagus that lies in a dimly lit crypt.

You can also visit Frescoes Museum 'G.B.Cavalcaselle' and admire the wall paintings detached from old Veronese buildings, and the Church of San Francesco al Corso with interesting works of art from the 16th to the 18th century (both on the same ground).

The picture's showing the most important scenes from Shakespeare's tragedy 'Romeo and Juliet'.
