again the Porta Bosari

Go through the portal and find yourself on a pleasant pedestrian mall. Look for a cafe and try some of Verona's famous Amarone Vino. It will knock your socks off.

Porta Borsari

A leftover from the age of Roman Verona. The gateway dates to the first century. Such a small but spectacular remnant. It makes one wonder how glorious the city appeared in its full Roman splendor.

side view of San Zeno

The side walls of the San Zeno Basilica are a riot. Brilliantly striped like a candy cane. The Basilica looks magnificent from a distance. Too bad I didn't get a good shot from far away.

tower

This tower was built a hundred years or so after the basilica. For the life of me, I have no idea for what purpose it was built.

wheel of fortune

A ubiquitous style of window in northern Italy but nowhere more beautifully done than here at the San Zeno Basilica. The window is decorated with the symbols of fortune.
