The Cathedral

The Cathedral complex in Verona consists of the Cathedral itself and the church of St Giovanni in Fonte (the Baptistery of the Cathedral) and the church of St Elena.

Entrance fee 2.50 euros, but you can buy a day ticket giving admission to the five churches, or use the Verona card.

The cathedral complex has grown on this site since the 4th century AD, and the present church dates from the 8th and 9th centuries. It has been altered and renovated over the centuries, with major reconstruction in the 12th century following an earthquake. There are paintings and frescos dating from the 15th and 16th century refurbishments. The latest renovations only finished in 2002.

Through a door on the left-hand side beneath the organ you can visit the Baptistery and the Church of St Elena.
