Santa Maria Antica

A small Romanesque church sits inside Verona's most elaborate dynastic setting, with Cangrande I's tomb poised above its entrance. The surrounding Scaliger Tombs give the modest building unusual visual weight.

Santa Maria Antica

Why go

The church gives the Scaliger Tombs their architectural anchor. Even when interior access is unavailable, the doorway, stonework and surrounding funerary monuments create a concentrated medieval ensemble. The defining details are above the portal for Cangrande's elevated tomb and equestrian figure; the church's restrained masonry with the ornate Gothic canopies outside.

What to look for

  • Look above the portal for Cangrande's elevated tomb and equestrian figure.
  • Compare the church's restrained masonry with the ornate Gothic canopies outside.

Useful to know

  • Do not assume the church shares the tomb courtyard's seasonal hours.
  • See it together with the Scaliger Tombs and nearby Sant'Anastasia.
