I Portoni della Brà

I Portoni della Brà, grand arches leading into Piazza Bra, offer an iconic entrance to Verona's historic heart. Photographers find the contrast between the ancient gate and bustling piazza intriguing, especially at dusk when the lights begin to shimmer. Nearby, the Chiesa di San Luca Evangelista, dating back to the 12th century, showcases Romanesque architecture. Its unassuming facade belies the art treasures inside, including works by Veronese painters, making it a must-visit for those interested in religious art and architecture. The church's quiet, contemplative atmosphere provides a serene backdrop for photography, contrasting with the lively scenes at the Portoni della Brà. Ideal visiting hours for photographers are early morning or late afternoon for soft, natural light and fewer crowds.
