Basilica di Santa Anastasia

The Basilica di Santa Anastasia in Verona, Italy, is a masterpiece of Gothic architecture, largely unnoticed by the typical tourist crowds, making it a serene spot for photo enthusiasts. Built between the 13th and 15th centuries, its façade blends Romanesque features, yet inside, the Gothic style prevails with majestic columns and intricate frescoes. Key highlights include Pisanello's fresco of Saint George, the frescoed Pellegrini Chapel, and the two stunning water stoups supported by hunchbacked figures at the main entrance, offering unique photographic subjects. The vast, light-filled interior provides a perfect setting for capturing the play of light on the ribbed vaults and the detailed artistry of the chapels. Early mornings or late afternoons offer the best natural light for photography, with fewer visitors and a more peaceful ambiance.
