Sant'Elena, Romanesque church in Verona, Italy
The Sant'Elena Church features three large aisles supported by twelve red Veronese marble pillars, making it the largest church in Verona.
The construction of Sant'Elena started in 1290, with two Dominican friars leading the architectural development that continued through the fifteenth century.
The interior of Sant'Elena contains numerous artworks, including Pisanello's fresco 'Saint George and the Princess' displayed above the Pellegrini Chapel.
The church is part of the Cathedral Complex in Verona, which includes the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta and San Giovanni in Fonte.
Archaeological excavations beneath Sant'Elena revealed mosaic floors from two earlier paleochristian basilicas dating back to the fourth century.
