Le chiese di Verona:
San Lorenzo

San Lorenzo church was re-built after 1117 earthquake over the ruins of an earlier sixth century early Christian church. The facade hosts on both sides two impressive Norman style towers, quite a unique feature in Italian Romanesque architecture. The towers support two winding staircases leading to the inside matronea or loggias provided for women half way up the nave walls, another unusual architectural element.
In the inside, a very tall and slender nave together with the sandstone and bricks layers, contribute to create an incredible ancient, mystical atmosphere. The light comes through small splayed windows. Inside there are works by Domenico Brusasorci and the funeral monuments of Nogarola family.
