Basilica of San Zeno, Verona

Basilica of San Zeno, Verona

The Basilica di San Zeno is a famous church in Italy which was constructed according to the model of Romanesque edifices. It is well known due to the architecture of the church. This church was dedicated to Saint Zeno.

Saint Zeno was born in Africa and did a huge service to Catholic religion. This place was built on the place where Saint Zeno was buried in order to give an honor to his memory and preserve his relics.

There are two churches: a smaller church which was insufficient in later periods due to huge number of worships, and the larger church which was built in a later period in the presence of king Pepin in 806. The place was destroyed due to the earthquake in 1117 but later it was constructed in its original form.

To enter to this place, you should buy a ticket which is around 2. 5 euro. Apart from that you can attend to mass in this church. But my advice is to check the time of the mass online.
