Sant'Anastasia is a Gothic basilica in the centre of Verona near Ponte Pietra, begun by the Dominicans around 1290 and completed in the 15th century, with a brick façade that was never finished. Inside, two holy-water stoups rest on kneeling hunchback figures, and Pisanello's fresco of Saint George and the Princess is above the Pellegrini chapel.

Verona Cathedral, dedicated to Santa Maria Matricolare, is a Romanesque church consecrated in 1187 after the earlier churches on the site fell in the earthquake of 1117. Its two-storey porch rests on griffins carved by the sculptor Nicholaus, Titian's Assumption hangs in a side chapel, and the complex includes a cloister and the baptistery of San Giovanni in Fonte.

The Basilica of San Zeno is a Romanesque church in Verona's San Zeno district, built over the tomb of the 4th-century bishop Saint Zeno. The present building dates mainly from the 12th century; its façade has a rose window and bronze door panels, and inside are the crypt with the saint's body, a cloister and Mantegna's San Zeno Altarpiece.
