Palazzo del Vescovado

Palazzo del Vescovado, Episcopal palace in Verona, Italy.

Palazzo del Vescovado is the episcopal palace of Verona, on the eastern side of the cathedral complex. Its main south front faces Piazza Vescovado, while the bishop's residence overlooks the Adige. Around a trapezoidal courtyard stand the Romanesque northern block with its central tuff tower, a southern entrance loggia, a two-level loggia on the east and a small portico linking to the San Giovanni in Fonte baptistery.

The palace developed alongside the cathedral dating to the 11th century and became a center for diocesan administration. Over time it underwent architectural changes while continuously serving as the bishop's residence.

The palace stands as a visible link between religious authority and civic life, positioned prominently beside the cathedral at the heart of the city. Its location and design reflect how church leadership shaped Verona's development over centuries.

The building functions as an active administrative center next to the cathedral, making it easy to locate in the city center. Access may be limited since it remains in use for diocesan operations and is not a public museum.

On the west face of the Romanesque tower, a plaque records that Bishop Ognibene had a chapel dedicated to Saint Zeno built inside the tower in 1172, before a violent fire spread through the city. The tower itself was first used as a defensive structure and prison.
