Kirker i Veneto

Historic Churches of Veneto

Veneto’s religious heritage spans centuries of architectural evolution, from the Romanesque San Zeno in Verona to Andrea Palladio’s Renaissance masterpieces in Venice, including San Giorgio Maggiore and Il Redentore. In Padua, the Scrovegni Chapel houses Giotto’s 14th-century frescoes, while the Basilica of Saint Anthony remains a major pilgrimage site. The collection also highlights unique structural achievements like the cliffside Santuario della Madonna della Corona and the marble-clad Santa Maria dei Miracoli, featuring significant works by Renaissance masters like Tintoretto and Titian.
