In a small square, which complements it to calculated effect, is Santa Maria Matricolare, the Cathedral of Verona. Built on the site of a previous Early Christian church and consecrated in 1187, the Cathedral has a façade which is a perfect composite of Romanesque and Gothic forms. The grandiose porch, consisting of a double baldachin supported by columns resting on stylised lion figures, is particularly striking.

The castle is entered by the small wooden drawbridge. On the other side of the lawn in the internal courtyard can be seen the giass entrance to the museum. Inside, one is immediately struck by the austere elegance of the walls.

The cloister, a Romanesque building from the 12th century, is an airy, precisely designed structure consisting of a portico with slender columns, between which are round arches on one side and pointed Gothic arches on the other.

It stands on the site of various previous constructions dating from the 4th, 5th and 11th centuries, but the church
