Basilica dei Santi Apostoli

Hotels near Basilica dei Santi Apostoli, Verona, Italy .

The Basilica dei Santi Apostoli, Verona (www.verona.net) dates back to the 12th century, but excavations have found evidence of a burial site beneath the Basilica which dates back to the eighth century. The Church was built in the Romanesque style, but over the years has had many renovations, so that only the Romanesque outer walls remain. However, there are some valuable works of art inside which visitors find interesting, such as the Madonna and Child frieze. There are also burial tombs that date back to the 1500s. It is situated in an open square with the Corso Cavour on the right and close to the Roman Amphitheatre.

Verona is a city in the Veneto region of northern Italy. It is a major tourist destination due to its artistic heritage. The city is the setting of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, and a balcony erroneously claims a connection with the families in the play. A statue of Juliet stands beneath the balcony, whilst a short passageway leading to it is lined with paper notes, the graffiti of lovers visiting the site. One breast of the statue is worn shiny as lovers touch it for luck. Verona is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, due to its many monuments, such as the Castelvecchio Museum. A museum of sculpture, statues and paintings set within the castle dating back to the 1300s, and designed by the architect Carlo Scarpa. Verona hosts many fairs and music events throughout the year, for example the Opera set in the Roman Arena.
