How’s that for a
ceiling? It’s just one of the riches of Sant’Anastasia church in Verona. The church was
begun in 1290 under the patronage of the Scaligeri. It’s rich in frescoes. The
marble floor of three main colours though in differing geometric shapes, is the
original. Just goes to show how well stone will last when you consider the
millions of feet that must have trod over it through the centuries. Every
corner of the church seemed to have its interest. We spent well over an hour
just looking around.
Rather than try to
describe the church I think my best bet is just to add some more pictures. Some
are a bit blurred – the light levels were rather low - but they do capture some
of the idea of what the place was like. It’s certainly a church worth visiting.
