Italy - Verona - Cloisters of St. Zeno
The Coisters of the Basilica di San Zeno (also known as San Zeno Maggiore) is the best known religious building of Verona, Northern Italy. Its fame rests partly on its architecture and partly upon the tradition that its crypt was the place of the marriage of Shakespeares Romeo and Juliet. Together with the abbey which forms an annex, it is entitled to St. Zeno of Verona. Date: 1903

EDITORS COMMENTS
Basking in the golden glow of the Italian sun, the Cloisters of St. Zeno, or Basilica di San Zeno Maggiore, stand as a testament to the rich history and architectural beauty of Verona, Italy. Built in the 11th century, this religious complex is the city's most renowned landmark, boasting a unique blend of Romanesque and Gothic styles. The intricate arches of the cloisters frame a serene courtyard, their columns adorned with delicate carvings and intricate designs. The bell tower, or campanile, looms in the background, its bells tolling the hours and marking the passage of time. Steeped in legend, the Basilica di San Zeno is famously believed to be the site of the marriage of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. While the authenticity of this claim remains a subject of debate, the romantic allure of the place draws visitors from around the world. The adjacent abbey, an annex to the basilica, adds to the complex's grandeur and completes the stunning architectural ensemble. The Cloisters of St. Zeno, with their arched arcades and tranquil atmosphere, offer a peaceful retreat from the bustling streets of Verona. The harmonious blend of history, art, and legend makes this place a must-visit destination for anyone seeking to experience the essence of Italy's cultural heritage.
