Parish church of San Giorgio di Valpolicella

Descrizione

The Pieve di S. Giorgio is one of the most important monuments of the Romanesque period in the Veronese territory. The building has a plan with three naves, rather elongated, the central nave is double the width of the smaller ones and has eight windows per side very high and narrow. The most interesting peculiarity is that of having a double apsidal termination: precisely, towards the west the church opens in a high and narrow apse in the nave, where the current door has been obtained, while on the eastern side we find the usual three apses, a major one in the middle and two smaller ones laterally. In the space of the presbytery, resting on the altar mensa, the ciborium was placed, after the restoration carried out in 1923-24.
