| Further information | The vaulted wooden-roofed church of S. Zenon, Verona, is a typical example of twelfth-century Lombard architecture. The basilica has no galleries and very small windows, and is built in coloured marble. Piers alternating with lighter columns divide the interior into three aisles, a crypt is formed beneath floor level while the sanctaury is raised on an elevated plane. Worth noting is the building’s sculpture and façade. Parts of the monument date to 1030, however, the present church was completed between 1123 and 1135. |
