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.
