Pieve di San Giorgio di Valpolicella

The building features three naves divided by pillars and columns, with a white bell tower rising from a hill covered in vegetation.

The church complex dates back to 712 CE, constructed over the remains of a pagan temple built by the Arusnati people of the Verona region.

The interior walls display frescoes from the 14th century, while the Lombard ciborium shows Celtic knots and detailed carvings of animals and plants.

Visitors can explore the eastern cloister with its three original colonnades and central well, along with an archaeological museum designed by Libero Cecchini.

The church base incorporates an ancient Sun Temple altar within one of the columns in its left nave.
