Santa Maria Antica, Romanesque church in Verona, Italy
Santa Maria Antica features red marble columns supporting rounded arches, with a square bell tower displaying alternating bands of brick and stone.
Originally constructed in the 8th century and rebuilt after an earthquake in 1117, the church received its consecration from the Patriarch of Aquileia in 1185.
The church served as the private chapel for the Della Scala family, who ruled Verona from 1262 to 1387 and built their family cemetery adjacent.
The entrance to Santa Maria Antica is located on Via Arche Scaligere 3, next to Piazza dei Signori, with access during religious celebration hours.
Archaeological excavations revealed a black and white checkered mosaic floor from the mid-8th century and approximately 50 graves from the 11th century.
