The most beautiful basilica / church in Verona, home of the town's patron saint, San Zeno. A beautiful example of Romanesque architecture, and filled inside with gorgeous local red marble and a set of phenomenal bronze doors. The area around the church is also lovely, full of bars and restaurants but far away from the chaos of the main attractions. Also, walk all the way to Castel Vecchio!
Einfach nur erhaben und großartig. Die Kirche mit all ihren Schätzen aus vielen Jahrhunderten, die Architektur und der Kreuzgang. San Zeno hat mich tief beeindruckt und ich halte die Anlage für DAS Highlight in Verona
If you appreciate art or even just raw human talent... come for the medieval bronze gates, stay for the Renaissance altarpiece...masterpieces both.
This church was beautiful and unique. There is an exquisite cloistered courtyard, and an impressive crypt. It's okay if the Verona Card, and it's definitely the best of Verona's churches!!
Majestic and beautiful temple with frescos dated back to the 13th century. The inside of the church is amazing, from the beautiful window to the wooden ceiling, the church looks amazing. The most incredible is the cloistered abbey, with each many pillars. There is a crypt housing the body of St. Zeno, which traditionally is believed to be the place Romeo and Juliet got married.
The temple of St. Zeno is definitely worth a visit while you're in Verona.

First I’ve been attracted By Andrea’s Painting, however when I was there, I found the frescoes more attractive.
Loved this place. It appears in Romeo and Juliet. It is definitely worth a visit.
Free accessible church in Verona, which is a nice chance with many other churches in italy.
Stunning church - wonderful frescos and the bronze door is magnificent. A little way from the centre but we’ll worth the short walk!
It's crypt was the place of the marriage of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. So we had to see it and it didn't disappoint. There is a 4eur entrance fee which we were happy to pay to help preserve this.
It's rather simple painted on the inside, but very grand. Something different.
We walked from the old city, along the river so we've stopped at various places on the way.

Very nice basilica with great history, you get a written and app guide with entry ticket which is great.
There is also information on the remains of St Zeno within the crypt which was very interesting.
Seeing the restoration and renovation work was nice.
